Provide flux density calibrators for centimetre and millimetre observations.
Characterise the departure of phase calibrators from being point sources,
and track their flux density.
Gather improved positions of existing calibrators.
Improve the calibrator grid, particularly at the shorter wavelengths.
Provide web tools and assist in providing off-line software tools to access
calibrator information.
Observations
C007 uses both scheduled and "filler" time to monitor calibrators. C007 is the perfect filler
project, as it can observe at a frequency dictated by hardware or weather constraints, it is useful
in any array configuration, and it an antenna or two being unavailable does not impact upon it
greatly.
Reduction and Results
A series of scripts are being written to reduce the data using miriad
and to generate a web
interface to the catalogue information.
