Calibration

  • Three EBs in this data. Spectral features in the phase calibrator J1744 have been properly flagged.
  • step 16. hifa_gfluxscale: the three EBs were executed 4 days apart, but the derived flux of J1744 is different by ~4% (476 mJy vs. 458 mJy). Could this be a problem? Also, the age of the catalog flux for J1744 is more than 180 days old. Shouldn't JAO monitor the flux of J1744 and update their catalog more often than this?
  • step 19. Phase scatter in calibrated phase vs time plots for two EBs. Could be minor, and I have noted it in Tracking of potential calibration problems #178.

Continuum imaging

  • step 31. hif_findcont: continuum identification of spw 29, a line is covered.

  • As a result, in 34. hif_makeimages (mfs), the continuum image of spw 29 shows many diffuse features.

  • step 36: The aggregate continuum image looks OK, but the beam size could be too large (2.02 x 1.55 arcsec, geometric mean = 1.77").

Line imaging

  • spw 33 is size-mitigated. It has been added to the json file for imaging, but hasn't appeared in globus yet, so I will check its image later.

  • spw 29: QA warning -- MOM8 FC image for field Sgr_A_star spw 29 with a peak SNR of 13.136 indicates that there may be residual line emission in the findcont channels. See the mom0 map below.
    This is related to the findcont issue above.

  • Beam sizes too large: for spw 25/27/29/31, the beam sizes are 2.43" x 1.86" or even larger. For spw 35, the beam size is also a bit large: 1.99" x 1.52" (geometric mean = 1.74").

  • Almost ~20 point sources in spw25 by eye, likely SiO v=1 masers. Otherwise, images look good.

Remaining issues

  • Reimaging spw 29 and continuum after improving the line-free channel identification?

@xinglunju could you verify that the re-imaged, un-mitigated cubes exist and look good?

Downloaded spw33 cube from globus and it looks great, so I mark this one as done.

QA - Line contamination in continuum images from high/low frequencies

Line contamination in spw25_27. Otherwise, the images look good.

Further checking the mfs continuum images of spw 25 and 27. However they both look good, so not sure which spw is contaminating the spw25_27 image.

Updated continuum QA (20240403)

The images look good. No sign of line contamination in spw25_27.
