Astrid Scripts


Observing Notes for September 17 at 340 MHz


First attempt at configuration left antenna out of system and I had to start over. Less than five minutes lost.

20 MHz bandwidth does not give enough spectral resolution to resolve the scintles. I will be switching to 5 MHz bandwidth.

To get Scott's python scripts working I had to do the following: source /users/pulsar/scripts/spigot.sh /users/sransom/bin/python /users/sransom/GBT_SP_scint.py

Observing Notes for September 21 at 825 MHz


We had to wait about 35 minutes before we could move the antenna because of some emergency work needed for the K-band refrigerator. This doesn't hurt our schedule any as I was able to have everything configured while they were working on the receiver. We were on source by 9 minutes after 3:00 pm EDT.

There appears to be a somewhat nasty receiver resonance at about 817.5 MHz. We will have to see how linear things are around this.
