... On 23apr03 the isolation for the IF2 port1a monitor port was increased. After the increase it was still possible to affect the correlator bandpass by changing the cables on the monitor port. ... To test the new isolation two experiments were done. ... The second test injected a sine wave into the monitor port and measured how much of it ended up in the correlator bandpass. ... The bottom plot is a -20 dbm sine wave injected into monitor port 2a. It sits 14.8 db above the tsys noise floor. ...

... A uv variable can change its value in any part of the uv variable stream. So it can change its value after each call to uvread , uvnext or uvscan . The uv routines which need to know if a uv variable has changed ( uvprobvr , uvcopyvr and uvupdated ) normally (i.e. by default) work on whether the particular variable(s) of interest has changed since the last ``mark'' in the uv stream. ... The uvmark routine provides greater control at marking the position in the stream. ...

... The change in temperature as the spacecraft crossed the terminator caused the secondary mirror support structure to expand and contract which moved the secondary mirror and changed telescope focus. This effect was termed thermal breathing and occurred on timescales equal to the orbital period of the spacecraft. The pre-COSTAR photometric error associated with thermal breathing could up to 4-7% and affected the flux in a random and uncorrectable way. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

Appendix B: The Effects of Thermal Changes on the "Absolute" Position of the Secondary . ... I will use the same nomenclature for the rod forces here as I used in Appendix A. In Appendix A, the axial force balance equation at the horizon was shown to be . ... The quantity that we really wish to derive is , where is the rod elongation at some initial epoch (i.e. when the rods were first tensioned) and where is the rod elongation at some later time after the rod temperatures had changed. ...
