16: Mapping and Calibration: 2010 April 19

Ran tests of nodding spectra with all beams. Seemed OK. Ran some maps of TMC, Orion and M33, which looked reasonable.

• Moon Daisy scan at low elevation; 7 Beams NH₃ 1-1 and 2-2
  • On/Off Moon, Scans 23,24
  • Daisy on Moon, Scan 25; 10 Minute duration
  • On/Off Moon Scans 26,27
• Tmc Spectra, miss-configured Scans 33-38
• Tmc-1 Map, NH₃ 1-1 and 2-2 Data look good. Strip is longer perpendicular to source structure. Frequency switched configuration.
  • On/Off Tmc, Scans 39,40
  • DecLatMap, Scans 41 to 61
  • On/Off Tmc, Scans 62, 63
• Tmc-1 Map
  • On/Off Tmc, Scans 69,70
  • DecLatMap, Scans 71 to 91
  • On/Off Tmc, Scans 92, 93
• Moon Daisy scan at higher elevation; 7 Beams NH₃ 1-1 and 2-2
  • On/Off Moon, Scans 94, 95
  • Daisy Scan 96; Duration 10 Minutes
  • On/Off Moon, Scans 97, 98
• Tests of sub-reflector nod on 3C48, scans 104-109
• Tests of nod with all beams on 3C48, scans 110 to 117
• Test of external galaxy mapping on M33 (not much signal)
  • On/Off M33, Scans 118,119
  • Map of M33, Scans 120 to 147
  • On/Off M33, Scans 148,149
• Orion Daisy Map
  • On/Off Orion, Scans 159, 160
  • Daisy map, Scan 162; Map duration only 5 minutes
  • On/Off Orion Scans 163, 164
• Initial tests of baseline stability, on M33, 800 MHz bandwidth, only 4 beams, Scans 165 to 172

TMC NH3 1-1 at 23695.6 MHz moment map using scans 71 to 91 after baseline subtraction.	TMC NH3 1-1 at 23694.6 MHz moment map using scans 71 to 91 after baseline subtraction.
TMC NH3 1-1 at 23694.0 MHz moment map using scans 71 to 91 after baseline subtraction.	TMC NH3 1-1 at 23693.4 MHz moment map using scans 71 to 91 after baseline subtraction.
TMC NH3 1-1 at 23692.5 MHz moment map using scans 71 to 91 after baseline subtraction.	TMC HC7N at 23687.4 MHz moment map using scans 71 to 91 after baseline subtraction.

Baseline subtraction was done using the idlToSdfits routine.

Orion NH3 1-1 and 2-2 Daisy map using scan 162 with overlaid spectral band. Map duration only 5 minutes.
