Calibration and Repeats • Standard star campaign in 2006 - Soubiran and M67. • Standard star campaign 2008 from list of 95 Soubiran stars provided by Corrado. • All fields have at least 10 sky fibres (initially 15). • Initially RAVEselect built in a random 10% repeat rate. • Logarithmic repeat campaign in 2006. ~100 stars. • Current repeat campaign based on list of ~4000 stars in RA range 07h to 16h30m with observations at 1-, 4-, 10-, 40-, 100-, 1000-day separation. • Now almost complete. (But significant cost in new stars.) • Extend logarithmic standards to further RAs??
Observing Strategy • Current ‘standard’ integration times: Bin 1 (8.00< I <9.99) 5x600s Bin 2 (10.00< I <10.80) 5x600s Bin 3 (10.81< I <11.29) 5x900s Bin 4 (11.30< I <12.00) 5x1200s • Problem: very few stars left in Bins 1 & 2 in RA range 14h to 24h (i.e. in the coming southern winter) • ‘Standard’ exposures in Bins 3 & 4 will not yield as high S/N as Bins 1 & 2 • Extend to deeper exposures??
