The data products were 'size-mitigated'. Therefore, the delivered products should not be used for final science.
Not much going on in continuum, just one point source?
Lots of action in lines. One notable feature that is problematic from the "size-mitigated" data is noise dips:
this is a possible indication that the rebinning was not done in a way that preserves uniform noise; those channels with dips are the average of n+1
channels, while the others are averages of n
channels
The download only partially completed; downloads are going at ~15 GB/hr (4 MB/s) from ESO and giving proxy errors (???) from NRAO.
Nice @d-l-walker - I think this last one is towards the continuum core? This also has an associated 24micron point source (no 70micron/8micron though - at least from my quick check).
Yeah I actually wrote that it was coincident with the lone continuum source, but I deleted that comment because it's a bit further away than I realised. It's still close, but not exactly coincident ... ~ 0.5 pc away.
I believe these are SiO stellar masers
spw 29 has some severe issues that I'm not sure how to diagnose - it looks like a steep continuum has been subtracted? This can't happen under normal circumstances, afaik. Not sure if this is a clean issue or something in the visibilities.
Strange, is this present in the other spw at this position? I think the continuum is fit over all spws.
No, only the narrow window. I think it's actually coming from uvcontsub, and the issue is that there's a ton of structure
I've encountered this issue before with contsub in CASA, though in that case it was for a very line rich window (cloud C). I got round this by using statcont instead ...
Yeah, we need to examine this window more closely - possibly image it w/o contsub & do statcont after. That's worked well for ALMA-IMF
findcont for spw29 (37~41) too close to a broad peak and the brightest feature close to the band edge: Integrated spectra within clean mask not flat (consistent with above comments): But not so obvious as an issue in moment 8 line-free map for spw29. Are there other ways to diagnose without downloading the clean cubes?
2. hifa_flagdata One flagging argument in 'Template Files':
mode='manual' spw='29:89.19\~89.198GHz;89.2\~89.203GHz' field='J1744-3116' reason='QA2:applycal_amplitude_frequency'
This is to flag the HCO+ absorption feature in spw29 in the phase calibrator. Maybe worth paying attention to for other SBs.
38. hif_makeimages (cubes) Spw 29 cubes likely have baseline fitting issues as noted by others.
The beam size is ~2'' x 1.2''. The major axis is ~30% higher than what we requested (1.5''). 1.5'' means ~0.05 pc resolution, while 2'' means 0.08 pc and almost 0.1 pc. Should we try re-imaging the data with a smaller robust number or are we ok with this?
Aggregate continuum beam is 1.73 x 1.02 arcsec, which is still not good enough
Following discussion at WP1 meeting, with an aimed resolution of 1.5", 20% (the formal tolerance) is 0.3", so the upper limit on formally acceptable resolution is 1.8".
I believe these are SiO stellar masers
Is it worth pinging the BAaDE team (e.g. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018ApJ...861...75T/abstract) about these to see if they are interested?
@snlongmore I think we already have members of the team involved? It might be a nice student project to catalog the SiO masers and cross-match them with AGB stars, but that's probably not super high priority.
It may be interesting to cross-match them with known water masers, so as to exclude AGB stars and have a better (but still very likely contaminated) sample of star forming cores traced by water masers.
If any of these SiO masers are associated with star formation, we should write them up as individual papers - there are only <10 SiO masers known associated with star formation (http://keflavich.github.io/blog/high-mass-protostellar-sio-masers.html). The first order search can just be a check of whether the SiO maser is associated with ALMA continuum and/or molecular gas. I'd be surprised if there turn out to be any, but it would be really cool if there were!
Agreed! We should keep eyes on potential SiO v=1 masers toward cores... (on a related note, ALMA just tested the new GPU spectrometer on the TP array using this maser line in Orion: https://www.almaobservatory.org/en/announcements/first-light-with-the-new-spectrometer-for-the-atacama-compact-array/)
Comments on the reprocessed data: Continuum image looks good (one single point source, no artefacts) I checked the problematic spw29 cube and does not show the slopes we saw in the previous iteration
Could one or more of the assignees (@thusharags @abulatek @xinglunju @ashleythomasbarnes @d-l-walker) check the reimaged data?
@keflavich I'll take a look
@keflavich I checked the reprocessed continuum & all SPWs -- everything looks good. However, the cubes need to be re-cleaned at native spectral resolution still. I have a backlog of SBs for which I need to upload the channel parameters to the .json file for re-cleaning at the native resolution, so I'll add this to the list. I plan on going through them all tomorrow.
The un-size-mitigated parameters are only present for spw33, but it looks like they're needed for other windows too: https://github.com/ACES-CMZ/reduction_ACES/blob/main/aces/pipeline_scripts/override_tclean_commands.json#L211-L220

@keflavich I forgot to leave a note on this issue earlier sorry, but the cleaning parameters for this were updated in #289, so this will need to be executed again to re-image at full spectral resolution.
I moved the old files into lores_Nov1_2022/
so a new clean should be triggered soon
All SPWs have successfully been reimaged at native spectral resolution, and look good. Setting this one as done.
spw33 reimaging has a couple issues:
Need to investigate & redo.
removed files, triggered reimaging. Cut off two channels on either end. Let's hope the model gets populated this time
spw33 looks good now, BUT channels 0-128 have an elongated beam
I'm trying to reimage the low-frequency continuum here, and it's failing with no error message:

I attempted to re-split the data
split('uid___A002_Xf49cca_Xde0f.ms', outputvis='uid___A002_Xf49cca_Xde0f_target.ms', field='Sgr_A_star')
and ended up with exactly the same error, so it looks like the problem exists in the original .ms
.
I'm going to try re-running the ALMA pipeline from scratch. I'll preserve all the data, but let's see if a fresh run makes for better measurement sets...
Rerun looks to have completed, but I had to rename the _targets.ms
file to target.ms

The cubes seem to have completed successfully (statcont cubes exist)
(upper 25_27, lower 33_35) Looks pretty good on both counts. 25_27 was missing last time, so there's no comparison set, but 33_35 looks good. There looks to still be a bit of contamination in 33_35, but it's not bad.
Just reviving the discussion re: SPW 33 having a weirdly large and elongated beam. This issue is not present in the products delivered by ALMA. The screenshot below shows the delivered cube on the left, and the re-imaged cube on the right. Clearly something has gone wrong.
I'm not really sure what's causing this, so I'm initially just going to create a dirty cube locally to see if I can reproduce this issue, then take it from there.
Beam in dirty image for SPW 33 looks fine. I used the same parameters as the ALMA PL, only adjusting the number of channels and channel width to undo size mitigation. No need to trim any channels.
@keflavich I'm not sure what's going on with the cleaning on your end. Do you want me to push these cleaning parameters as overrides and re-run on your end? In the meantime, I'm going to re-run using the exact parameters that you used to see if that changes anything.
Yes, please do that.
The SPW 35 cube was previously broken for this SB (see below). I think this was just in need of a re-run, but I'm not sure whether this was done in the end.
@keflavich can you please check the uid___A001_X15a0_X14e.s38_0.Sgr_A_star_sci.spw35.cube.I.iter1.image.pbcor.fits
image to see whether it looks OK (i.e. not like the image below). Just to save me downloading a 54 GB cube that may or may not be broken.
If all looks good, I'll grab it and re-do the feathering.
Yeah, everything looks fine in the calibrated/working
directory
Update from WP1 meeting: both cubes for SPW 33 & 35 now look good on HPG. I'll download the new cubes and re-do the feathering.

Summary 18th May [Ash] - All cubes look okay, but need rechecking after full clean.
