ORN NDA NewRoutine Transiting Radiosource EDR FITS data collection

Monday 13 March 2023, by Baptiste Cecconi

This data collection is composed of decametric observations of intense radiosources (such as Cas-A, Cyg-A etc.) acquired by the Nançay Decameter Array (NDA) with its NewRoutine (NR) receiver at the Observatoire Radioastronomique de Nançay (ORN) in Nançay, France. On top of scientific measurements, collected for calibration purposes, the dataset also includes pointing and instrumental setup parameters.

Description

Decametric radio observation from Nançay Decameter Array (NDA) (Lamy et al. 2017). The NDA at the Observatoire Radioastronomique de Nancay (ORN) is a phased array of 144 "Teepee" helicoidal antenna, half of which being Right Handed (RH) polarized and the other half being Left Handed (LH) polarized. Four receivers are currently connected to the NDA, sampling data in spectral ranges within 5 to 80 MHz. This collection covers the NewRoutine high resolution receiver.
