Observing time calculation for the APEX instruments Artemis and Supercam:
A new observing time calculator is now available for the Artemis 350µm
camera on APEX, see
http://www.apex-telescope.org/bolometer/artemis/obscalc/
This calculator assumes a field of view of 4.7'x2.5', with fully
sampled pixels in the 350µm focal plane. The 450µm or 200µm planes are
not offered in P94. Note that this is only a preliminary version of
the calculator, as the full commissioning of Artemis will only be done
in June.
The Supercam 345 GHz heterodyne array instrument for APEX does not
have a dedicated calculator. However, to estimate the observing time
request, the SHFI on-the-fly calculator
(http://www.apex-telescope.org/heterodyne/calculator/otf/) should be
used, and the time request should be divided by a factor of 13. This
factor takes into account the expected 52 operational pixels of
Supercam and the slightly higher receiver temperature compared to SHFI.
