Hi Peggy,
Now that I am looking at the solutions for July 6, rather than July
1, I agree that 11 and 25 are out.
IMPORTANT.
Something is wrong with the EVLA phase stability. The VLA x VLA
baselines for the calibrator over 2 hours looks fine, with changes less
than 10 deg. The VLA x EVLA and EVLA x EVLA baselines vary quite a bit,
say >40 deg with a larger jumps. You can even see that the phase
changes between IF1 and IF2 on EVLA baselines by 30 deg, while less than
2 deg for the VLAxVLA baselines.
Has there been any changes in the antenna locations for the EVLA
antennas? The July 1 EVLA data looks much better.
Will look again soon.
Ed
