IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer Observation Log

This table contains the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer observation log. The Institut de Radio Astronomie Millimetrique (IRAM) was founded in 1979 and is operated as a French-German-Spanish collaboration. Its partner institutes are the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France), the MPG (Max Planck Gesellschaft, Germany), and the IGN (Instituto Geografico Nacional, Spain). The principal activity of IRAM is the study of cold matter (molecular gas and dust) in the solar system, in our Galaxy, and out to cosmological distances, in order to determine its composition, density, mass, temperature, and kinematics. IRAM operates two observatories at millimeter wavelengths which are open to the international astronomical community: the 30-m single-dish telescope on Pico Veleta (2850 m), Spain, and the six-antenna interferometer on the Plateau de Bure (2550 m) in France. Both sites are at high altitude to reduce the absorption by water vapor. The observatories are supported by the IRAM offices and laboratories in Granada and Grenoble. The observation log included here concerns the Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI) and summarizes the observations made there between December 1, 1990, and March 31, 2017, inclusive. No observations were done by the PdBI during the periods 1999-Sep-30 to 2000-Dec-03 and 2006-Sep-25 to 2007-Jan-18 (installation of the new receiver), notice. The observation log for the 30-m telescope is available as the HEASARC database table <a href="/W3Browse/ground-based/iram30mlog.html">IRAM30MLOG</a>, and the observation log for NOEMA (the NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array), the successor to the Plateau de Bure observatory, is available as the HEASARC database table <a href="/W3Browse/ground-based/iramnoelog.html">IRAMNOELOG</a>. For more information on IRAM, see <a href="http://www.iram-institute.org/">the IRAM home page</a>. This table was originally ingested by the HEASARC in November 2005. It is based on the CDS table B/iram/, files pdbi.dat and pdbi_pi.dat. It was last updated in July 2019, based on an updated version of these tables which were also obtained from the CDS.
