################################################################################### This Readme file contains a description of the 3C286 Band 6 12-m array Polarization Science Verification data and data products. The calibration and imaging procedure is described in a CASA guide: https://casaguides.nrao.edu/index.php/3C286_Band6Pol_Calibration_for_CASA_5.1 Additional information can be found at: http://almascience.org/alma-data/science-verification The Calibrated Data and Reference Images provided here were produced using CASA version 5.1.1. ################################################################################### 3C286_Band6_UncalibratedData.tgz contains the raw data: 3 asdm datasets: * uid___A002_X85c183_X10a * uid___A002_X85c183_X51a * uid___A002_X85c183_X822 3C286_Band6_CalibratedData.tgz contains the calibrated uv-data and a mask that can be used for the CLEAN steps: * 3c286_Band6.pol.cal.ms * 3c286_StokesIQUV_selfcal.mask 3C286_Band6_ReferenceImages.tgz contains the final image products: * 3c286_Band6.POLA * 3c286_Band6.RATIO * 3c286.cal.StokesIQUV_selfcal_ap.clean.image * 3c286.cal.StokesU.clean.image * 3c286_Band6.POLA.fits * 3c286_Band6.RATIO.fits * 3c286.cal.StokesIQUV_selfcal_ap.clean.image.fits * 3c286.cal.StokesU.clean.image.fits * 3c286_Band6.POLI * 3c286.cal.StokesI.clean.image * 3c286.cal.StokesQ.clean.image * 3c286.cal.StokesV.clean.image * 3c286_Band6.POLI.fits * 3c286.cal.StokesI.clean.image.fits * 3c286.cal.StokesQ.clean.image.fits * 3c286.cal.StokesV.clean.image.fits These are the final data products produced by following the Polarization CASA guide. --------------------------------------------------------------- Publications making use of these data must include the following statement in the acknowledgement: "This paper makes use of the following ALMA data: ADS/JAO.ALMA#2011.0.00017.SV.
