FCRAO 12CO Data

Back to FCRAO Data Page


Description:

3D data cube of 12CO emission in Perseus. Data were obtained at FCRAO using the On-the-Fly (OTF) mapping method during 2002-2004. Units are uncorrected antenna temperature (TA*) in Kelvin. Up-to-date values of the forward-scattering efficiency (eta_n) can be obtained from the FCRAO website. Velocities are in m/s.
The map has a Samsom-Flamsteed (SFL) projection.

Telescope:

FCRAO

Status:

Finished, although some observations to improve the noise are ongoing.

Sampling:

The data were taken in OTF mode, which means they are over-sampled at irregular intervals. The spectra are re-gridded to 23" pixels (approximately Nyquist sampled).

Areal Coverage:

Approx 6.25 by 3 degrees

Map Center (Galactic):

l = +159:13:00
b = -19:15:00

Map Center (J2000):

RA = 03:37:00
Dec = 31:49:00
