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.                                 ###
