Sensitivity and observing time estimator for spectral lines.

This calculator works with total telescope time (as either input or output), automatically taking into account calibration, pointing, focus, and instrumental deadtimes. This time/sensitivity estimator gives results derived from averaging the two polarizations for the 6, 22, 45 and 87 GHz receivers.

Note: For proposals using OTF mapping, the maximum map size for calculating sensitivity vs. time estimation is 400'' x 400'' for Q-band and 200'' x 200'' for W-band. The current time estimator assumes maps to be squared, therefore make sure to plan for enough submaps if you need to cover a different shape or if your area is larger than the maximum map size for a proper time estimation. We cannot accommodate different PA at the moment.
