Abstract:

This memo describes the equations used in the NOEMA sensitivity estimator available on the online sensitivity estimator (https://oms.iram.fr/tse/) and used for proposal submission in the Proposal Management System.

This memo is a full rewriting of the older memos dedicated to the subject to consolidate the equations and to take into account the new dual band and frequency cycling modes. The different versions of the memo 2015-2 are only kept in order to know how the sensitivity estimates were done in past proposal sessions.
