On-The-Fly Observing System of the Nobeyama 45-m and ASTE 10-m Telescopes

Abstract: We have developed spectral line On-The-Fly (OTF) observing mode for the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45-m and the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment 10-m telescopes. Sets of digital autocorrelation spectrometers are available for OTF with heterodyne receivers mounted on the telescopes, including the focal-plane 5 × 5 array receiver, BEARS, on the 45-m. During OTF observations, the antenna is continuously driven to cover the mapped region rapidly, resulting in high observing efficiency and accuracy. Point… Show more

“…The spectral resolution was 15.26 kHz (corresponding to 0.05−0.06 km s −1 ) for TZ1 and T70, and 3.81 kHz (corresponding to ∼0.05 km s −1 ) for H22. Observations with receiver TZ1 were conducted in the on-the-fly (OTF) mapping mode (Sawada et al 2008) with data sampling intervals along a strip of 5 and separations between strips of 5 . We have made orthogonal scans in RA and DEC to minimize scan effects.…”

“…Although the wind conditions contributed to the pointing uncertainties, the pointing is better than a third of the beam. For the data reduction we used NOSTAR (Sawada et al 2008), a software package provided by the NRO for OTF data. The data were sampled to a spatial grid of 7.5 and smoothed to a spectral resolution of 0.5 km s −1 .…”

“…The channel width of the spectrometers was 31 kHz, corresponding to a velocity resolution of ∼0.1 km s −1 at 110 GHz. The observations were performed using the OTF mapping technique (Sawada et al 2008). Data were calibrated with the standard chopper-wheel method (Ulich & Haas 1976;Kutner & Ulich 1981).…”
