Pointing
The plots below show the pointing data for, respectively, RxA & RxB following the model adjustments on UT 6th Oct:

There are no noticeable systematics.

Thermal - i.e. analyses of the elevation residuals as functions of Receiver and antenna leg temperatures:

   Notes : 1 : Z_RxA = (+0.023 +- 0.002)*T_leg         3 to 13
           2 : X_RxA = (-0.386 +- 0.096)*cos(el)
           3 : Z_RxB = (+0.020 +- 0.006)*T_leg         5 to 12

A strong temperature dependence of Z_RxA is again seen (see last month's analysis) and the slope is confirmed by the RxB data. DZT_COEFF was changed from 0.070 to 0.090 at 14:35 HST 14 Nov 2005.
