Agenda -

  • Introduction
  • Beth:
    • 1. Brief description of the SMA obervations
      • Observing dates?
      • Observing duration: long (serval days) or short (a few hrs)?
      • Scientific goal?
      • Target sources
      • Calibrators
      • Major line transitions?
      • Expected line detection limits
      • Expected continuum detection limits

    • 2. Status of data reduction -
      • mir-idl calibrated?
      • with calibrated-data output in miriad-format?
      • with calibrated-data output in FITS?
      • Any tentative images -
        • spectral lines?
        • continuum ?
  • Follow-up with CASA-
  • JHZ:
    • Option 1 -
      • for mir-idl calibrated data, we will assist to convert the calibrated into CASA measurementSet format
        Beth: provides the data link.
    • Option 2 -
      • for raw SMA data uncalibrated, we may need to develop a special pipeline for old SMA data prior to 2018 getting into CASA.
        Beth: provides the filenames of the uncalibrated SMA storage data.
  • CASA tutorial
    • Make CASA readable data available
      • JHZ: will assist providing CASA measurementSet-formatted data:
        either from mir-idl calibrated data or from uncalibrated SMA archival data.
    • Schedule next meeting
      • Beth & Jun-Hui: Will discuss our next meeting time via email soon after having CASA readable data.
