Position Switching Separation Tolerance with Arecibo in L-Band Travis McIntyre The University of New Mexico July 2010 Revised December 2013 Abstract The blocked telescope aperture at Arecibo creates standing waves in the bandpass around 1MHz. ... Test observations with Arecibo in L-Band show that position switching effectively removes standing waves for separations of one half FWHM or less. Standing waves remain for separations of one FWHM, increasing the rms of the baseline by 20%. ...

Comparing the summed map with the maps from the individual energy ranges, the one which produced the smallest error box was chosen to represent the source position, as long as was greater than 4, a level chosen to reflect a reasonable degree of confidence in the detection. ...

... These steps must be run on the qpoe file before the dewobble scripts are implemented. ... This is because the phase of the wobble is fixed to the space craft clock. c) Create an ASCII file with the listed obi start and end times. ... The IRAF script 'phase_repos' breaks up each obi of the qpoe file into a number of phase bins. Then a source centroid is calculated for each binned qpoe file. ... Each binned qpoe file is labelled by two indices, the obi and the phase number. ... Run phase_repos: . ...

The close position of main satellite and subsatellite (distance between them about 1000 km) and using the similar sets of Faraday cups (VDP and VDP-S) with high resolution measurements (up to 16 Hz for the main satellite and up to 10 Hz for the subsatellite) allow us to determine the small-scale variations of the magnetopause shape and position and to estimate the velocity of the magnetopause motion. ...
