CARMA Tutorials

Reducing a Spectral-Line mosaic (using CO J=1-0 in M99 (NGC4254) from CARMA STING, Rahman et al. 2010)

We present two methods:

Using the wideband to calibrate the narrowbands:

• CARMA spectral line mosaic M99 (developed for the 2010 NRAO Synthesis Imaging Summer School)
• CARMA testing

Calibrating each spectral window separately (simpler, but only for strong phase calibrators):

• Extracting data from MIRIAD
• Importing and Calibrating a Mosaicked Spectral Line Dataset
• Imaging a Mosaicked Spectral Line Dataset
