====== Observations 2024-03-04 18:30-20:30 UTC ======

The same setup as for [[projects:jupiter:intercont-2023-12-27|2023-12-27]] (but with different pointing position) was used.
For the people involved in observations of individual stations see there.

In addition to international LOFAR stations, NenuFAR and the LWA we also have the LOFAR2 test station (as commissioning experiment) and a couple of Dutch RS stations (project DDT20_007).


===== Individual stations =====

Diagnostic plots for all participating LOFAR stations can be found {{:projects:jupiter:jupiter_2023_12_27_stat.pdf|FIXME here.}} They all show clear signatures from Jupiter in the dynamic spectra even at this very low resolution.

==== KAIRA ====

Here are beamlet statistics (dynamic spectrum) from BST files: \\

There was auroral activity during the observations, which became even stronger a bit later: \\

==== NenuFAR ====

Beamlet statistics (dynamic spectra for XX and YY) from NenuFAR are here: \\

==== LWA ====

For the LWA (LWA1 and LWA-SV) we used two beams each, with different gains, to avoid the saturation problem that we had in December.


==== LOFAR2 ====

The LOFAR2 test station produced these dynamic spectra:\\
