20061218 report
(RxA) Pointing update
The results
of fitting the TPOINT parameters CA and IE
and their errors (dS,dZ) to recent datasets are quoted below :
UT dates Rx No. of points CA dS IE dZ Notes
----------- -- ------------- ----------- ----------- -----
20061214 A 13 +1.7 +- 2.0 -0.8 +- 2.4
20061218 A 12 -0.0 +- 2.7 -0.5 +- 2.8
20061219-29 A 18 -3.9 +- 6.8 +0.8 +- 2.0
The collected data of UT 19th thru 29th Dec showed strong systematic
trends of both dS and dZ with elevation/zenith-distance: trends not
obviously seen in the data of UT 14th & 18th !
A full, 7-parameter fit reduced rms scatters in (dS,dZ) to (2.3",1.1").
The old (20061029) and new models are shown below:
old new
IA -261.96 -251.10
IE -19.35 -23.15
NPAE +22.26 +60.39
CA -157.95 -195.07
AN +8.36 +9.21
AW -15.14 -15.34
TF -4.26 -11.70
The installation of such a model may follow.
