Introduction

This document describe details how to plan and describe the technical aspects of an MWA observing proposal ('Part C'), as written by the person who schedules your observations. It does not describe the science justification needed to get your proposal accepted, only the technical requirements that need to be included so we can schedule your observations and get the results you want, if it ends up being accepted.

  • The five GLEAM bands, centred on 69, 93, 121, 145 and 169 (coarse channels 57-80, 81-104, 109-132, 133-156 and 157-180, respectively).
  • Dual band (57-68 and 121-132).
  • Twelve 2.56 MHz wide bands (62;63, 69;70, 76;77, 84;85, 93;94, 103;104, 113;114, 125;126, 139;140, 153;154, 169;170, 187;188).
  • Twenty-four 1.28 MHz wide individual channels (62, 67, 73 , 78 , 84 , 89 , 95 , 100 , 106 , 111 , 117 , 122 , 128 , 133 , 139 , 144 , 150 , 155 , 161 , 166 , 172 , 177 , 183 , 188).

Decide whether you can use on one of these eight frequently-used channel sets for your observation Using one of the above channel sets means that:
