Current Status of the observational system
Last update: see bottom right
Receivers currently installed at the prime focus:
| Receiver | Status |
|---|---|
| P210-7 | ok |
| P200/180 | ok |
Please note, that there is new strong RFI at ~1475 MHz, influencing also the protected band. The staff of the observatory is currently investigating possible measures.
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 | not available any more |
| S7 | ok |
The S-band has recently heavily been occupied by RFI (due to LTE). Observations with the 11cm-receiver should use the 8-bank polarimeter or the new spectro-polarimeter (please contact staff).
For questions or comments, please contact eff-support[at]mpifr-bonn.mpg.de.
Please also report RFI to the same email address.
