Xcov 20 Contact Information


Control Center

There will be two separate Control Centers for Xcov 20:
Iowa State
France
Check the Control Center Schedule to determine which Control Center is active.

Please contact HQ upon your arrival at the observatory. Be prepared to specify a good contact time and phone number or email address, a phone number or email where you can be reached during the observing night and times of twilight or of target acquisition. We would also like a listing of full names and affiliations of people involved at your site/institute with this WET run.

Iowa State will be the Control Center from 13 November to 23 November.

Data Submission

There are two ways to send your data and logs at the end of each night.
  1. By FTP to: wet.physics.iastate.edu
    (Note that this has changed from the previous site of wet.physics.iastate.edu!)
    The username for the FTP site is wetftp, and the password is available through email. This is not an anonymous FTP transfer, so you will need the password to upload your data. If you use the FTP option, load your data into the "wet/incoming/xcov20/" directory.

  2. Via e-mail to: wet.physics.iastate.edu

We will be reducing the data as fast as they come in, and we'll contact you promptly if we have any questions about, or problems with, the data you send.

In case the IITAP mail/ftp servers go down, there is an emergency email address for use in contacting the control center: wholeearthtelescope@yahoo.com

World Wide Web

We have a WWW site set up for Xcov 20. It currently has all finder charts, observing instructions, contact information, assigned observing time, etc. During the run, we will keep it updated with the latest results and thoughts on the data. It will also have a discussion page where all can contribute to a discussion about the run. We would welcome your comments on how to improve the usefulness of the WWW site.
