I re-downloaded the file and it now appears to have stuff in it. I think the e-mail was sent from ALMA, and the products were made available, before they were ready.
Mitigation parameters: spw: 25,27,29,31,35
Weird circular pattern in findcont image
That pattern looks to me like PSF sidelobes around a bright SiO v=1 maser spot. Good catch.
Spw images look good except SPW29 which is 3-4x noisier than other SPWs.
@keflavich You're right, there are several masers in that cube, and a particularly bright one at that spot.
Quite a lovely continuum map -- two HII regions, filaments and a maser! Anyone recognize the HII region at G+0.49-0.074?
Perhaps Mehringer+ 1992 Sgr B1 E
Yep. Their Plate 2 overlays this field https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/pdf/1992ApJ...401..168M
Reprocessed data look good. Marking this as done!
Need to play with robust weighting to get beam down to requirements in SPW 33, currently at >2"
With robust = -2, the beam is 1.90"x1.29" PA=76.9 degrees, but of course with substantial loss of detail and S/N.
2.03 x 1.44 arcsec was the original pipeline version
Left: robust=0.5, Right: robust=-2 RMS in regions with no apparent emission (green): Left: ~120 µJy/beam, Right: ~185 µJy/beam
Note example yellow regions where there is apparent emission in the robust=-2 image but not in the robust=0.5 image. These are likely uncleaned flux; they appear in the residual.tt0 map
Those differences in emission are very worrying - something that extended shouldn't just appear as an artifact. Also there's an extra point source in the right image? (just up and right of center)
Good catch, that's also in the residual
Which residual is that viridis picture - robust-2 or robust0.5?
Residual is robust=-2. I don't have robust=0.5 residual (and don't see it on globus)
Channels 577-587 diverge in spw 33 - only minorly
607-615, 617-623 also - all in the top-right corner
The pipeline seems to have failed in the original run: there are no _target.ms files? I'm rerunning from scratch to see if that fixes it. Moved calibrated
to broken_calibrated_20231216
EDIT: no, the above is not true - it looks like I commented on the wrong issue.
Divergence appears to be cured
Nchannels look right:

Continuum QA
There were no missing continuum files for this field. As noted above, this region has a very nice continuum. I can see no major immediate differences between the low and high continuums other than a noise difference.
Spw25_27
Spw33_35
Old high spw33_35
Old spw25_27_29_31_33_35
Comparison images between spw25_27 (top) and spw33_35 (bottom)
This image shows perhaps a noise level difference between the two continuum images. The blob to the right of the source in the spw25_27 doesn't seem to be continuum nor line emission, so it is probably noise.
Continuum QA
Looks fine
Top: left = 33_35, right = 25_27 Bottom: left = old 33_35, right = 25_29_31_33_35
