Spotting Cass A #123

Closed theDarkLard closed 9 years ago

theDarkLard commented 9 years ago

Been looking for Cass A this morning. I calculated a new Tsys for 1415.00 MHz at the current temp for today and got 165.8 K. This was the Tsys used for these observations. Here are plots of spectra on and off Cass A: casa_off_source_0 casa_on_source_0 casa_off_source_1 casa_on_source_1 casa_off_source_2 casa_on_source_2 casa_off_source_3 casa_on_source_3

I'm thinking that if we spotted it, the little bump towards the left is Cass A...?

Or maybe It's not the bump because It's supposed to be a continuous spectrum. Still, the signal is far hotter on Cass A than off. I would like to think that this is because of Cass A, but it could also be the signal from the galactic plane. Although, the survey was done pretty far off 1420.4 MHz, so I'm optimistic that we're seeing something.
