    MB007 Correlation Report

    General

    • Session info: http://www3.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/div/vlbi/globalmm/
    • Station feedback: http://www3.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/div/vlbi/globalmm/sessions/apr17/feedback_apr17.asc
    • ALMA QA2: 2016.1.00413.V used for polarization conversion
    • This experiment has ALMA with 32x62.5MHz, VLBA with 2x128MHz channels, and most of the EVN with a 1x512MHz channel
    • Two EVN stations (Yebes, Pico Veleta) observed in an incorrect backend mode, with a 32 MHz polyphase filterbank.
    • Due to the issue at Yebes and Pico, three correlations were performed:
      • a) standard ALMA correlation setup (58 MHz bands) discarding Yebes and Pico
      • b) narrower band correlation setup (32 MHz bands) including Yebes and Pico
      • c) mixed-band correlation with additional postprocessing of all baselines to Yebes and Pico Veleta (reconstructed 58 MHz bands)
    • The correlation output (c) appears correct, but uses a new feature that has not been vigorously tested. The data are provided without guarantees. Details are given further below.
    • In case (c) the additional processing consisted of, first, correlation with 58 MHz bands and several narrower bands that fitted the Pico/Yebes recorded bands (e.g., 32 MHz, 24 MHz, 2 MHz and similar), secondly, after correlation passing the visibility data through a post-processing script to form 58 MHz bands on the affected baselines using the narrow bands (i.e., combining visibilities in frequency domain from 32 + 24 + 2 MHz bands), thirdly, spectrally averaging inside the 58 MHz bands from 3712 channels per band to the final goal of 116 channels per band that matches the originally intended correlation mode.

    Fringes in e.g. scans No0023 and No0082 on ALMA baselines in 32 MHz correlation run (No0023 PDF all but GB and Mk in this scan; No0082 PDF with GB and Mk), likewise in 58 MHz correlation run (No0023 DF, No0082 PDF)

    Notes:

    1. In case (c) the additional processing consisted of, first, correlation with 58 MHz bands and several narrower bands that fitted the Pico/Yebes recorded bands (e.g., 32 MHz, 24 MHz, 2 MHz and similar), secondly, after correlation passing the visibility data through a post-processing script to form 58 MHz bands on the affected baselines using the narrow bands (i.e., combining visibilities in frequency domain from 32 + 24 + 2 MHz bands), thirdly, spectrally averaging inside the 58 MHz bands from 3712 channels per band to the final goal of 116 channels per band that matches the originally intended correlation mode.
    2. Yebes began recording 20 seconds late in every scan

    Note: Calibrator scans have stable delay and rate residuals scans have stable delay and rate residual. The large scatter happens on Sgr A only, and on long baselines (and not only with ALMA). This was verified in HOPS aedit.

    FITS completeness (pclist)

    Legend:
    o:              station is included in the FITS-file (data is complete)
    x:              expected station is missing in the FITS-file
    number:         percentage of job time in the FITS-file compared to expected time.
