General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
RA002, C-band e-VLBI ToO during the 2013 November 12-13 run. Participating telescopes were Jodrell Bank (MkII), Westerbork, Effelsberg, Onsala, Medicina, Noto, Torun, Yebes and Hartebeesthoek. Medicina observed at 512 Mbps (but used 1-bit sampling to recover the full bandwidth). Torun had no fringes in the last two RCP subbands. Torun data flow had to be regularly restarted. Onsala was winded off after about 4:45 UT because of stong winds.

The target (PSRJ1023) and check sources (J1015+0109) were phase referenced to REFJ1023.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.90 . ERI* = 0.98 . (Ef=1, Jb2=1, Ys=1, On=0.66/1, Mc=1, Nt=1, Tr=0.92, Wb=1, Hh=1)

Note used Sched on-source prediction for Jb and Nt (no logfile available).

TSYS against time
Comments.
Note used nominal SEFDs for Jb and Nt (no antabfs file available).

Telescope sensitivities from the a priori TSYS and Gain curves (the square of this number gives the antenna noise (SEFD) in Jy - the smaller the better).
Comments.
Note there were some corrections to the FT values in the ANTAB file after the first pipeline run. These FT values may have to be revised (especially for Effelsberg) if subband edges are not flagged during the data processing.

Fringe-fit phase solutions (including Parallactic Angle correction).
