This updated dataset was deliverd as dynamic range limited with achieved/requested rms 1.31mJy/0.62 mJy, however, the not updated SB Sgr_A_st_m_03_7M, was delivered with the right achieved/requested rms 0.68mJy/0.62 mJy. Just in case we deem it needed to request further observations.
@piposona - sorry if I'm being slow, where are these numbers coming from (lines/continuum)? And how do you know this is dynamic range limited, is there a warning for this?
(1) Wind speed is a little bit high and shadowed percentage is relatively high, which may be one of the reasons that lots of data were flagged.
(2) Step 38. Tclean/MakeImages got very low scores in Spw 20, 22, 24. For Spw 20 and 24, there is a huge amount of emission in line-free mom0 and mom8 maps, especially Spw 24. For Spw 20, it seems no line is counted in the spectra, but the line was not settled in the center. For Spw 24, it may be affected by the line wing.
For 22, which got 0, it warned clean reached niter limit and the final model is bad.
spw24 has a real issue. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/98576159/180650277-8a4d6415-f630-4c77-94cb-3442f9a138cd.png didn't show up in the post, but it's clear that the continuum is being fit to the wrong channels.

New images look good.

SPW24 spectrum and selected 'line-free' channels:
Continuum:
Wanted to note my "patch" to the confetti problem in spw22: I set noisethreshold=3
, which as I understood it, makes it so that automultithresh interprets lower amplitude signal as real instead of as noise (which seems to mitigate the problem of "borderline" signal making the mask flicker on and off). I also set cyclefactor=3
to remove divergence that came along after changing noisethreshold.
There may still be a few cases of pixels with channels that discontinuously lose or gain signal, but the issue seems significantly reduced from browsing over the cube.

This gif shows the impact on the spectra:
Went back and looked at the images and residuals for spw22. In general, the new images have lower fluxes than the pipeline versions, and I think that's reflected in the residual too. The residual is typically lower or more negative than the pipeline versions. Although, it's hard to say if there's a strict pattern. The clean looks to be better in some places and worse in others (which maybe isn't too surprising). Orange is new residual, blue is pipeline residual:
(a confetti area, several parsecs northeast of the cores)
(over Sgr B2M)
(another confetti area, just north of N)
(another confetti area, several parsecs to the west of the cores)
I'm a little confuse, how come the residual have negative fluxes here? Could you also check the model images for where you previously had a spike and now you don't? It would be interesting to see what the model looks like for both...
It's normal for the residual to contain negative fluxes - dirty images always do. Ash, why do you want to see the model images? I'm not sure what that tells you - it's obvious from the smaller residuals that there are now (orange) model components where there previously none, right? I would like to see the images now, though - did the speckling / "confetti" go away?
Just following up: here's a quick comparison of the new images vs the old ones. (Old)
(New)
The speckling is gone, and I have confirmed that the mask and model in several confetti areas are now present where they used the used to drop out: (model) (mask)
Interesting... Then is isn't super obvious why the flux towards the confetti was higher previously? Is this this region (https://github.com/ACES-CMZ/reduction_ACES/issues/110#issuecomment-1811864545)?
No, that was from a single pixel in a different part of the field, in the southwest. But checking that pixel and the region around it, I see the same behavior. It's easier to compare to my last message by looking at the region: (image) (model) (mask) (residual)
