General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
The EVN ToO observations ran at C band with 1024 Mbps recording rate (16 channels, 16 MHz/channel, 2bit sampling, dual polarisation) on 22 Mar 2010. The participated telescopes were Ef, Cm, Jb1, Kn, Mc, On, Nt, Tr, Wb and Ys. The target XTEJ1752-223 was calibrated by the phase-referencing source J1755-2232. The source NRAO530 and J1824+1044 were also observed as the fringe finder and bandpass calibrators.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.8 . ERI* = 0.8 . YS had no observations due to a problem with main moter bus. (Cm=1, Kn=1, Jb1=1, Mc=1, Ef=1, On=1, Wb=1, Tr=1, Nt=1, Ys=0)


Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
JB: auto-correlation plots looked wrong because its sampler statistics was too poor to get proper correction factors by 2bitVV. Cm & Kn: signal in IF 3 and 4 only.


plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against time
Comments.


Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Strong fringes were found to all the stations.


The uncalibrated amplitude and phase of the crosshand correlations against frequency channel (not available)
Comments.


TSYS against time
Comments.


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.


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


Fringe-fit delay solutions
Comments.
J1755-2232 was the phase-referencing calibrator. SOLINT= 2 min.


Fringe-fit rate solutions
Comments.


Telescope bandpasses
Comments.
NRAO530 was used as bandpass calibrator.
