Array parameters September 2016
(Sep 25 - Sep 30)
Main parameter file: laboca-2016-09.rcp
laboca-2016-09.rcp is a temporary RCP file for the second cooling down cycle of LABOCA. This file contain only one beam maps observed and is the reason why
is a temporary file. The coming days will be performed others beam maps on Mars in order to being combined and increase its reliability.
Individual scans
| Channel # | Description |
|---|
| 101, 103, 106, 110 |
Strong cross-talk: 101↔106 and 103↔110. 101 and 103 may be
usable for point sources only. |
| 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 89, 90,
91, 92, 93, 94, 96, 136, 159, 160 |
Channels located in group 4 / cable M. These channels usually don't show
any astronomical signal and are considered bad.
|
| 114, 116,
117, 118, 119, 120, 126, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 141, 147,
148, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156 |
Channels located in group 5 / cable L. These channels don't show
astronomical signal (factor 20 below normal) and are considered bad.
|
| 177, 179,
180, 182, 183, 184, 185, 191, 192, 201, 202,
203, 205, 207, 217, 218, 220 |
Channels located in group 7 / cable A. These channels don't show
astronomical signal and/or cross-talk and are considered bad.
|
| 6, 45, 170, 199, 204,
206, 208, 211, 213, 219, 228, 241, 309 |
Bad channels, not showing any astronomical signal or very low signal levels,
unconnected to groups 4, 5, or 7 above. |
