README ftp://ftp.nro.nao.ac.jp/pub/tsuboi/GC_CS10H/ ----- README : this file GC_CS10_C5.MCUBE.1.FITS : FITS file (with data smoothing of 30") GC_CS10_C5B.MCUBE.1.FITS : FITS file (with data smoothing of 40") These are the 3-D cube FITS data of CS J=1-0 emission line in the Galactic Center region with the NRO 45-m telescope. The detail descriptions have been presented in "DENSE MOLECULAR CLOUDS IN THE GALACTIC CENTER REGION I; Observation and Data" Masato TSUBOI, Toshihiro HAND, and Nobuharu UKITA, ApJS, vol.120, 1-39, (1999). If you use these data, please cite the above reference. These 3-D FITS files are bound up the channel maps from -200 to 200 km/s with 5 km/s width in the region of |L|<15', |B|<15'. These data are smoothed using a circular Gaussian weighting function in spatial direction. The FWHM of the Gaussian shape are 30" for GC_CS10_C5.MCUBE.1.FITS, and 40" for GC_CS10_C5B.MCUBE.1.FITS, which is approximately consistent with original spatial resolution (about 34"). We use TA* in these maps. If you need TMB, please convert from TA* to TMB by TMB=TA*/beam eff.(=0.7)/SSB ratio(=0.9). If you have any question about the data, please tell us by e-mail, tsuboi@vsop.isas.jaxa.jp. ---------------------------------------------------------- TSUBOI, Masato, Professor, Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and the University of Tokyo, 3-1-1 Yoshinodai, Chuou-ku, Sagamihara, Kanagawa, 252-5210, JAPAN
