A GBT Legacy Survey of Prebiotic Molecules Toward SgrB2(N-LMH)

Fall 2007 Data Summary:

Below is a summary of the data that were taken during the Fall 2007 semester on the GBT. The reduced, averaged spectra are available via the Spectral Line Search Engine (SLiSE) at the SLISE DATA RELEASE PAGE. To access the RAW data, the GBT PRIMOS project id is AGBT07A_051. In Table 2 below, we list 1) the session id number, 2) the observation date in DD/MM/YY format, 3) the name of the observing band, (e.g. 800MHz PF1, L, C, K, Ka, etc...), 4) the center IF frequency (MHz) for the four observing bands, 5) the IF bandwidth (MHz), and finally 6) the scan numbers that contain the data in that table entry on Sgr B2(N-LMH).

There is also a problem with the Tcal values for most of the L- and S-Band data. In order to properly calibrate these data in IDL, you need to set the "tcal=#VALUE#" in the getps routine. Table 1 below lists the appropriate Tcal values for each polarization for the passbands observed in the Fall 2007 semester:
