CARMA
CARMA 225 GHz map with 0.9’’ beam (C-array) 1’’ is not good enough! BN? source I
subarcsec resolution requires adaptive optics to correct for atmospheric blurring blobs of water vapor signal delayed to this antenna differences from optical or NIR adaptive optics water vapor fluctuations are the main problem time scales of seconds, not milliseconds no laser guide stars
paired antenna calibration (PACS) observe nearby calibrator at 30 GHz with 3.5-m antennas 3.5-m ant quasarscience target
paired antenna calibration in action
1mm B-array map before/after PACS corrections
BN source I 229 GHz continuum map 0.15’’ resolution
a reminder: interferometer acts as a spatial filter
H recombination lines toward BN Rodriguez et al 2009 CARMA
CARMA SiO v= GHz, 0.4’’ res
SiO v=0 spectra suggest rotation about a NE-SW axis
CARMA SiO v=0 0.85’’ resolution
