Integration Time Calculator

If performing a scan map, enter the length of the map in the scan direction, and the width of the map (both in arcseconds):
Length: Width:
Weather Grade (range of CSO Tau): 1: < 0.05 2: 0.05 - 0.08 3: 0.08 - 0.12 4: 0.12 - 0.2 5: > 0.2

Average airmass of source during observation (>= 1):

Enter the 1-sigma rms (in mJy) to be reached (> 0)
with Short Array: with Long Array:

Notes: In the case that one of the sensitivities is left blank, the calculator will derive it, based on the integration time required to achieve the other sensitivity. When doing polarimetry, remember that this is the rms polarized flux.
