TITLE: 12/10 Owl Shift: 08:00-16:00 UTC (00:00-08:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 113Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ed
SHIFT SUMMARY:

New ALIGO lock record:  113+hrs!

H1's been locked (at NOMINAL LOW NOISE) since Niko's DAY shift last Thurs (12/5) at 3:12pmPDT (that's over 4.5 days!!)!

LOG:

• 8:11-8:26 Stand down for short GRB notification received (notified LLO & Virgo...latter were already in Maintenance).  8:18 I got around to taking INJ_TRANS to INJECT_KILL; will Stand Down until 8:26 & return INJ_TRANS.
• 8:45 Incoming EQ alert (~5.9 in Vanuatu Islands area near Australia).  Seismon puts this EQ square in the middle of the EARTHQUAKE area, so will monitor to see if we need to transition SEI_CONF...
  • 9:32 transition to EARTHQUAKE (R-wave passed, but was seeing ASC Control signals & STS2 signals ramp up)
  • 9:52 back to WINDY
• 11:39 Happened to notice a spike on the STS ndscope (which shows up as quick spike on seismic blrms on the wall).  I'm guessing this is a 4.3 from mexico at 11:13utc.  No alert given.  ASC control signals increased for a few seconds around this time.  The Earth playing with H1 as it wiggles a little.  No action taken.
• 12:45 New verbal about Tues morning work station reboot was received.
• 15:39 Inspecting arms for tumbleweeds (Chris)
• 15:45 Out of Observing
• 15:45-15:56 PEM Injections started
• 15:46 HEPI & Dust Monitor Maintenance (JeffB)
