21 | \subsection{Maximizing the duty cycle}
|
---|
22 |
|

23 | \begin{verbatim}
|
---|
24 | email Nicola Galante: \\
|
---|
25 | \\
|
---|
26 | I calculated duty-cycle with a Sun zenith angle greater
|
---|
27 | than 105 deg, which means that Sun must be at least 15 deg below
|
---|
28 | horizon, and not with an angle of 115 deg. I tried this calculation also
|
---|
29 | with a limit of 108 deg, because a lot of people assume that the
|
---|
30 | astronomical sunset is when the Sun is 18 deg below horizon. Using this
|
---|
31 | assumption the calculated duty-cycle decreases of about 4\%(from 1.225 to
|
---|
32 | 1.18 srad per year or from 9.75\% to 9.36\% vs 4pi srad per year). Anyway
|
---|
33 | the definition of astronomical sunset influence the main cut on duty-cycle.
|
---|
34 | About wind I can say that the data I used were provided by NOT, which is
|
---|
35 | situated in a place more windy than where MAGIC is growing up. I made
|
---|
36 | the calculation also with other upper limits to wind's speed then the
|
---|
37 | usual 10 m/s, and we can gain quite a lot of duty-cycle (even about
|
---|
38 | 1.5\%more vs 4pi srad per year) so it should be interesting to test the
|
---|
39 | telescope during some windy or foggy days.

45 | \par
|
---|
46 | If some significance is seen, observe the same position next night to get some OFF-data.
