RA Coverage

Currently active UKIDSS MSBs have the following distribution in RA (normally updated weekly, Thursday HST):
Current UKIDSS RA Coverage


RA Coverage by Survey

Plotting remaining active MSB count per RA hour. Updated weekly (Thursday HST). Projects shaded in red have a global priority factor applied (see the detailed table in "completion rates and actions"). "Observable" denotes RAs observable for at least one hour after sunset or before sunrise.

UKIDSS Survey Status
UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey Operations



This page gives top-level scheduling and completion information relevant to UKIRT execution of the UKIDSS surveys. The statistics are updated daily, except where otherwise stated.

Target statistics

This table gives, for the current WFCAM block, the total time share per survey appropriate to the current block (right hand column), the time used on survey MSBs to date (second column). The actual time used, and hence the remaining target, is subject to observing conditions. This table informs global priority factors applied to the various surveys later in this page. Updated weekly (Thursday HST).

TABLE NOTES:



'i+' denotes increased internal priority.
'i=n' denotes internal priority set to 'n'.
'f=-n' denotes a raising of n in global priority factor ('fudge factor'). The more negative the value of n, the higher the priority in the queue.
