Current Status of the observational system
Last update: see bottom right
Despite the current Coronoa epidemic, the observatory is still operational, but with a considerably reduced staff. We can currently not foresee when the situation will return to a normal state.
Receivers currently installed at the prime focus:
| Receiver | Status |
|---|---|
| P210-7 | ok |
| P200 | ok |
Receivers currently available in the secondary focus:
| Receiver | Status |
|---|---|
| S130 | ok |
| S110 | ok, but beware of RFI |
| S60 | ok, only one horn available |
| S45 | ok |
| S36 | ok |
| S28 | ok |
| S20 | ok |
| S14 | ok |
| S9 | please contact staff |
| S7 | ok, one channel in off-horn broken |
The S-band has recently heavily been occupied by RFI (due to LTE). Observations with the 11cm-receiver should use the 8-bank polarimeter.
For questions or comments, please contact eff-support[at]mpifr-bonn.mpg.de.
