Summary:
Continuum image: a few bright compact sources and some extended emission
Lots of structure in the SPW 29 line emission
The extended emission on the eastern edge of the continuum image seems to be consistent with one of the VLA/MeerKAT radio continuum filaments (inside the cyan circle):
The VLA paper is https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016ApJ...817..171Z/abstract The same filament is seen in the MeerKAT 1.2 GHz continuum image (Fig. 11 of https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022ApJ...925..165H/abstract).
A quick comparison between ACES continuum (left) and VLA C-band continuum (right, from https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2019ApJS..244...35L/abstract). The two point sources and the two extended structures can be seen in the C-band emission.
@snlongmore could you check that the size-unmitigated cubes look good and exist?
Re-imaged SPW33: Imaging artefacts at channel 602 to 605.
I recleaned SPW 33 due to the divergence that Steve pointed out. I just increased cyclefactor
to 2.0 (added to override_clean_commands.json
in #305), which solved the issue. A preview of the peak intensity map is shown below.
@keflavich the output files from tclean have been uploaded to /upload/Sgr_A_st_ai_TM1_reclean/
, and the destination is /rawdata/2021.1.00172.L/science_goal.uid___A001_X1590_X30a8/group.uid___A001_X1590_X30a9/member.uid___A001_X15a0_X16c/
As this was the only outstanding issue, I've marked this region as done.
Now in /orange/adamginsburg/ACES//rawdata/2021.1.00172.L/science_goal.uid___A001_X1590_X30a8/group.uid___A001_X1590_X30a9/member.uid___A001_X15a0_X16c/Sgr_A_st_ai_TM1_reclean/
Continuum QA
There is currently no spw33_35 continuum image, so I solely analyzed the spw25_27 image.
New continuum spw25_27:
mfs:
old high spw33_35:
old total continuum spw25_29_31_33_35:
All continuum images share the same compact sources and the straight filament at the top left. There are also a couple of larger scale continuum sources, one below the straight horizontal filament at the top left, and a second with a spiral arm shape in the bottom right.
However, the new spw25_27 includes much more of the extended structure in the center of the image. This structure is missing from the mfs image, but seems to be present at least in part in the old continuum images. This is most likely line contaminate line emission.

Looks fine
