[ASTRO\]LINE/SPECTRAL Unit Bandwidth IF_2
Plot rest frequency coverage of Plateau de Bure Interferometer. The
command syntax is identical to that of the corresponding command in OBS.
Name is a line name to label the plot
Frequency is the center frequency in GHz
Band should be USB or LSB
Lock (optional) is LOW or HIGH
Center (optional), the center IF2 frequency in MHz, default 350.
Harm (optional), the harmonic number.
The option /MOLECULES enables to plot the rest frequencies of several
transitions, found in file File. This is a text file with entries:
Freq 'chain'
where Freq is the rest frequency in GHz and 'chain' the line name to
be plotted by GreG, between single quotes. Example:
88.632 'HCN'
89.081 'HCO\u+'
The option /WIDTH width is used to introduce a finite width (in km/s)
for the molecular lines displayed.
The option /SPECTRAL is used to overlay the desired spectral correlator
configuration.
Unit is the correlator unit number (1 to 6)
Bandwidth is the bandwidth in MHz (10, 20, 40, 80 or 160)
IF_2 is the center frequency (in MHz) of the unit in the second IF
(in the range 110 to 590 MHz).
With only the /SPECTRAL option, the corresponding unit overlay will be
drawn on an existing LINE plot.
Because only one synthesizer is used to generate the 1st and 2nd LOs,
the IF frequency is slightly variable (between 1.500 and 1.550 GHz), and
the Doppler tracking is correct only for the specified band (USB or
LSB). The last specified source is used to get the Doppler shift. The
image frequency doppler shift is wrong by at most 2.Ers/Harm, where Ers
is the Earth rotation speed, or about 0.9 km/s, roughly 0.04 km/s at 86
GHz.
