. Computer Ephemeris. Sidereal time. Explanations. Each row contains at 0h of Universal time: month, day, real sidereal time (hours, minutes, seconds), mean sidereal time (only seconds, as a rule, hours and minutes are the same as in real time) and nutation in right ascension: long periodic (with periods greater than 35 days), and then short periodic (periods less than 35 days). Standard IAU 1980 nutation theory is used.

Detector on-chip integration (DIT): seconds. to your chosen value - a separate page gives recommended values to use for DIT - for modes 1 and 2 below you may wish to start with the maximum recommended values as these will minimize the effect of read noise (a total object exposure of Y secs with DIT=X secs will produce Y/X lots of read noise) and give you a lower limit on the time needed. ...

... Several analysis strategies for computation of systematic part in the radio source velocities can be used: a) estimate source position and velocities from global solution, then fit spherical harmonics to the velocities (Gwinn et al. 1997); b) compute the coefficients of spherical harmonics as global parameters (MacMillan 2005; Titov 2008); c) compute velocities from position time series, then fit spherical harmonics to the velocities. ... Time series statistics is shown in Table 1. ...
