YEBES OBSERVATORY
A Spanish Scientific and Technical Infrastructure

Sensitivity and time estimator for spectral lines (Santa Maria, test).

This calculator works with total telescope time (as either input or output), automatically taking into account calibration, pointing, focus, and instrumental deadtimes (0.6 factor, but needs to be adjusted for the Santa Maria antenna). This time/sensitivity estimator gives results derived from averaging the two polarizations.
