################################################################################### This Readme file contains a description of the Mira Band 3 ALMA 2014 Long Baseline Campaign Science Verification data, scripts and data products. Spectral windows include continuum and several SiO transitions (isotopologues and vibrational states). The resolution achieved for the continuum data (94 GHz) is 70 x 60 mas. 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 4.2.2. Imaging scripts and other imaging details can be found at the following CASA guide page: http://casaguides.nrao.edu/index.php?title=ALMA2014_LBC_SVDATA ################################################################################### Mira_Band3_CalibrationScripts.tgz contains the calibration scripts: * uid___A002_X905825_X5a8.ms.scriptForCalibration.py * uid___A002_X916b15_X5c0.ms.scriptForCalibration.py * uid___A002_X916b15_X926.ms.scriptForCalibration.py Mira_Band3_UncalibratedData.tgz contains the raw data: Three asdm datasets: * uid___A002_X905825_X5a8 * uid___A002_X916b15_X5c0 * uid___A002_X916b15_X926 Mira_Band3_CalibratedData.tgz contains the calibrated uv-data: * Mira_Band3_continuum.ms * Mira_Band3.ms * calibration To produce these calibrated datasets you will need to execute the calibration scripts in Mira_Band3_CalibrationScripts.tgz and follow the imaging script that is located at the CASA guide page listed above. The directory "calibration" contains the self-calibration tables that are produced as part of the imaging script. Users can use these tables to self-calibrate the provided calibrated data. Alternatively, users can perform self-calibration and generate these tables by following the provided imaging scripts that are located on the CASA guide page. Note that self-calibration was performed on the continuum and line data separately. Mira_Band3_ReferenceImages.tgz contains the line and continuum image products: * Mira.continuum.image.fits * Mira.contn2_selfcal.image.tt0 * Mira_Band3.29SiOv_0_ap.image * Mira_Band3.29SiOv_0.fits * Mira_Band3.29SiOv_0.mom0.fits * Mira_Band3.SiOv_0_ap.image * Mira_Band3.SiOv_0.fits * Mira_Band3.SiOv_0.mom0.fits * Mira_Band3.SiOv_1_ap.image * Mira_Band3.SiOv_1.fits * Mira_Band3.SiOv_1.mom0.fits * Mira_Band3.SiOv_2_ap.image * Mira_Band3.SiOv_2.fits --------------------------------------------------------------- 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#2011.0.00014.SV.
