Hello all,
I suspect that Vivek's analysis of the data from Thursday supercedes
the previous source stretching results at C, X and Kband. But, here is
the summary anyway:
Band Date Frequency Range Stretching factor
C Sep 27 4.63 - 5.00 7.8^(-5) +/- 0.3
X Oct 14 8.86 - 7.96 2.9^(-5) +/- 0.2
K Oct 14 23.1 -23.9 1.8^(-5) +/- 0.2
C Oct 15 ~4.8 0.9^(-5) Reported by Vivek
The stretching factor before Oct 15 did not scale in a straight-forward
way with observing frequency. As Vivek suggests, the stretching is now
much smaller at C-band after the fix for the frequency offset in the
correlator effective LO. It is difficult to determine the remaining
stretching (or whatever) in the present small EVLA configuration, and
all-sky observations may be needed.
