AbstractWe characterise the Millimetre Astronomy Legacy Team 90 GHz Survey (MALT90) and the Mopra telescope at 90 GHz. We combine repeated position-switched observations of the source G300.968+01.145 with a map of the same source in order to estimate the pointing reliability of the position-switched observations and, by extension, the MALT90 survey; we estimate our pointing uncertainty to be 8 arcsec. We model the two strongest sources of systematic gain variability as functions of elevation and time-of-day and quantify the remaining absolute flux uncertainty. Corrections based on these two variables reduce the scatter in repeated observations from 12%–25% down to 10%–17%. We find no evidence for intrinsic source variability in G300.968+01.145. For certain applications, the corrections described herein will be integral for improving the absolute flux calibration of MALT90 maps and other observations using the Mopra telescope at 90 GHz.

PW Vul (Nowa Vul 1984 #1) was a slow classical nova which began its outburst in July 1984 and reached optical maximum in the first week of August 1984. Eight low dispersion spectra (160 A/mm) in the blue spectral range (λλ3400-5100 A) were secured between October 1984 and July 1985, with the CCS spectrograph equipped with 3.5 arcsec aperture image slicer and mounted on 90 cm Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope at Toruń Observatory. Kodak IIa-O plates were used. In addition two moderate dispersion (40 A/mm) spectra in the Hγ-Hβ range were obtained on 28 October and 3 November 1984, using the same instrumentation. Standard stars were observed on each night to remove the influence of spectral sensitivity of the photographic emulssion and atmospheric extinction. The calibration of the absolute flux scale was performed by comparing synthetic B magnitudes calculated from our spectra with published B photometry of PW Vul (Voloshina 1985, Noskova et al. 1985, Kolotilov and Noskova 1986). The accuracy of the flux calibration is ±0.1 mag.
