FCRAO CO Data

New Perseus data added 05/16/05

New Ophiuchus data added 12/14/05

Description

This directory contains CO data cubes and images obtained as part of the COMPLETE Survey (http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/COMPLETE/). Observations were made by Scott Schnee and Naomi Ridge during 2002-2005. Processing was carried out by Naomi Ridge, with help from David Kosslyn, using the FCRAO "otftool" software and IDL (including use of scripts provided by Mark Heyer).

The files are as follows:
  • PerA_12coFCRAO_F_vxy.fits - 3d Data Cube Of 12co Emission. Axes Are In Velocity-Ra-Dec Order
  • PerA_12coFCRAO_F_xyv.fits - 3d data cube of 12CO emission. Axes are in RA-Dec-Velocity order (for e.g. karma/kview and ds9)
  • PerA_12coFCRAO_F_map.fits - 2d integrated intensity image of 12CO emission
  • PerA_13coFCRAO_F_vxy.fits - 3d data cube of 13CO emission. Axes are in Velocity-RA-Dec order
  • PerA_13coFCRAO_F_xyv.fits - 3d data cube of 13CO emission. Axes are in RA-Dec-Velocity order (for e.g. karma/kview and ds9)
  • PerA_13coFCRAO_F_map.fits - 2d integrated intensity image of 13CO emission

If you would like a smaller map/cube of a sub-region please email nridge@cfa.harvard.edu with the co-ordinates (in RA and Dec) of the four corners of your required region.
