Previous: Pointing overhead
There are 3 kinds of slews (
is in arcseconds):
- The micro-slew, between each point of a raster is computed
according to the formula in ISO's observer's manuel, with the
exception that the result is rounded to the next integer and one second
is added. Thus:
- The re-positionning slew, still in raster mode, which used to
from the last point of the raster to the first point of the next
raster, in case more than one filter is used in the same AOT (
filters in a raster AOT result in
re-positionning slews), for
which the time is computed according to:
- The beamswitching slew, between the source and the reference(s)
which is computed again with:
Note that the re-positionning slew in raster and the beamswitching slew
are considered as pointings so, as mentionned later, pointing overheads
have to be added to
. These amount to 19s.
