This Readme file contains a description of the VY CMa Band 7 ALMA Science Verification data, scripts and data products. There are two sets of Band 7 data: one observed at 321 GHz and the other at 325 GHz. For information see: http://almascience.org/alma-data/science-verification ####################################################################################### ### NOTE - TWO OF THE THREE 325 GHZ DATASETS (X1488 AND X1de2) DO NOT HAVE THEIR ### ### OWN BANDPASS CALIBRATOR AND SHOULD BE USED WITH CAUTION. IN THE CALIBRATION ### ### SCRIPT THE BANDPASS CALIBRATOR IS COPIED FROM THE NEXT DATASET (X1ba1). ### ### WHILE THIS PROVIDES A SATISFACTORY RESULT FOR THE BANDPASS AND AN IMPROVED ### ### SNR, SOME USERS MAY WANT TO OMIT THIS DATASET. ### ####################################################################################### VYCMa Band7 321GHz --------------------------------------------------------------- VYCMa_Band7_321GHz_Calibration.py: Calibration script VYCMa_Band7_321GHz_Imaging.py: Imaging script --------------------------------------------------------------- VYCMa_Band7_321GHz_UncalibratedData.tgz contains: Three asdm datasets: * uid___A002_X6cdf83_X1118 * uid___A002_X6cdf83_X12ca * uid___A002_X6d0f96_X2051 VYCMa_Band7_321GHz_CalibratedData.tgz contains the end product of VYCMa_Band7_315GHz_Calibration.py, i.e.: * VYCMa_Band7_321.ms VYCMa_Band7_321GHz_ReferenceImages.tgz contains: * VYCMa_Band7_321_contap2.clean.image * VYCMa_321.22_H2O.clean.image * VYCMa_321.22_H2O.clean.image.mom0 * VYCMa_322.77_Si18O.clean.image * VYCMa_322.77_Si18O.clean.image.mom0 * VYCMa_322.77_Si18O.clean.image.mom1 * VYCMa_310.78_TiO2.clean.image * VYCMa_310.78_TiO2.clean.image.mom0 * VYCMa_310.78_TiO2.clean.image.mom1 * VYCMa_309.79_NaCl.clean.image * VYCMa_309.79_NaCl.clean.image.mom0 * VYCMa_309.79_NaCl.clean.image.mom1 --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- VYCMa Band7 325GHz --------------------------------------------------------------- VYCMa_Band7_325GHz_Calibration.py: Calibration script VYCMa_Band7_325GHz_Imaging.py: Imaging script --------------------------------------------------------------- VYCMa_Band7_325GHz_UncalibratedData.tgz contains: Three asdm datasets: * uid___A002_X6cdf83_X1488 * uid___A002_X6d0f96_X1ba1 * uid___A002_X6d0f96_X1de2 VYCMa_Band7_325GHz_CalibratedData.tgz contains the end product of VYCMa_Band7_325GHz_Calibration.py, i.e.: * VYCMa_Band7_325.ms VYCMa_Band7_325GHz_ReferenceImages.tgz contains: * VYCMa_325.15_H2O.clean.image * VYCMa_325.15_H2O.clean.image.mom0 * VYCMa_312.11_NaCl.clean.image * VYCMa_312.11_NaCl.clean.image.mom0 * VYCMa_312.11_NaCl.clean.image.mom1 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#2011.0.00011.SV.
