Search radius
Search radius

A search radius in integer arcseconds must be supplied if coordinates are given.

The search algorithm applies this as a square box of width = 2 x radius.


Target names
Target names

This matches the names given to the science targets by the PI and may not match catalog names.

Calibrator source names are standardized (e.g. mars, 3c454.3).

Substrings are matched by default. To return an exact name only you should enclose it in quotes (e.g. "io").

To search for multiple sources, please enter one per line.

The search is case insensitive.


Min. integration time
Min. integration time

Minimum integration time in hours spent on the requested target(s).


▶  PROJECT
Project code
Project code

The SMA project code assigned during proposal submission.

Example formats:
2017B-S075
2017b-s075

Unavailable for data taken before 24 April 2007.


PI lastname
PI lastname

Case insensitive last name of the principal investigator.


Project title keywords
Project title keywords

Case insensitive keywords from the project title. Substrings will be matched.

Multiple search strings can be provided as a comma delimited list.


Data type
Project type

Science data are science observations that have an assigned SMA project code. They will contain both science targets & flux/gain/bandpass calibrators.

Flux data are an internal SMA project dedicated to monitoring the fluxes of SMA gain calibrators.

Baseline data are an internal SMA project used to derive baseline solutions following an antenna move.


▶  OBSERVATION
Data directory
Data directory

SMA data directory name.
Example format: 191125_01:34:48.

Occasionally, a single complete observation will span more than one data directory. In this case the directories will need to be concatenated. Please check 'Associated directories' in the observing report to see if this is the case.


Date range
Date range

Single date: YYMMDD
Date range: YYMMDD-YYMMDD


Min. observation length
Min. observation length

The minimum duration/length in hours of the data directory. This corresponds to the observation length.

Occasionally, a single complete observation will span more than one data directory. In this case the directories will need to be concatenated. Please check 'Associated directories' in the observing report to see if this is the case.


Public data only
Public data only

The proprietary period is 15 months. Data older than this is available to download.

▶  TUNING
Frequency
Frequency

Return data that include this sky frequency (the frequency at the telescope) in one or more sidebands.

Available for data taken from 7 Oct 2016 onwards.

LO Frequency
LO Frequency

The LO (local oscillator) frequency that either receiver was tuned to during the observation.

Note that the IF (intermediate frequency) is 4 GHz.
