1. Herschel Open Time Cycle 1 DP workshop ESAC, 16-18 March 2011 - page 1 Pat Morris, NHSC HIFI Mapping Processing in HIPE

2. - page 2 HIFI maps HIFI spectral maps come in two main flavors –On The Fly “Standard” Position Switch Frequency Switch with or without position switch Load Chop with or without position switch –Dual Beam Switch Fast or normal chop With or without special timings for optimal continuum stability Each have their own pathologies that make it worthwhile to perform some combination of pipeline re-run, data cleanup, and re-gridding. The first step is data inspection.

3. - page 3 Identifying the mode type To confirm your observation’s observing mode, or when you take data from the public archive, look in the meatData of the obsContext: In particular you should note if the data come from the “noRef” total power mode with FSwitch or LoadChop, meaning that a sky reference was skipped. E.g. –HifiMappingModeOTFFSwitchNoRef –HifiPointModeLoadChopNoRef –HifiSScanModeFSwitchNoRef NoRef will result in standing waves in the data, potentially strong

4. - page 4 Reasons to reprocess Level 0 pipeline –Astrometry is assigned to H and V beams data with HIPE ≥ v 5.0 Level 1 –pipelineLoadChop and FSwitch data quality improved by reversing order of doHotCold. –Deselect one OFF phase in DBS Raster if contaminated. Data cleanup –Removal of residual standing waves and/or baseline drift before gridding Level 2: Regridding –Redefine “pixel” size consistent with the actual spacing of lines and readouts –Redefine according to your data’s S/N –Or change sampling and convolution kernel to match and compare with other maps (different frequencies or beam sizes). Combine maps –H with V from the same observation –Maps from different observations at same (or almost same) frequencies

5. - page 5 340, 98 MHz period sine waves removed (fitHifiFringe) Baseline Cleanup Example: OTF Map 7b Level 2 product: Residual standing waves, strong baseline drift Smoothed baselines removed Instrument signatures convolved into spectral cube Cube regridded from cleaned HTP

6. - page 6 HSpot parameters 11/15/20156DPUG 24, MPE - page Certain key map information needs to be passed to the gridding task: # readouts, # scan legs  mapsize (pixels 2 ) Readout spacing, leg spacing  pix size (arcsec) Also here, noise estimates are not transferred to associated data products for reference to observed noise properties. Applies to ALL modes.

7. - page 7 H + V maps combined 11/15/20157DPUG 24, MPE - page S/N is given to the user in HSpot assuming both beams are combined (true of all AOT modes). This will be available with the gridding task in HIPE 6.0. Can be done fairly easily with a script, but metaData are not yet properly handled. Memory can be a factor with large maps.

8. - page 8 CH+ vs methanol Distribution of methanol is localized to the IRc2 / Compact Ridge region.  High density hot core region, n(H 2 ) ~few 10 5 – 10 6  Able to support some C + formation in J shocks?  Methanol and CH+ strength generally anti- correlate. Methanol line intensity CH+ 9 km/s
