<strong>Spectral</strong> Transformation <strong>in</strong> cvel and clean<br />

ALMA data come usually <strong>in</strong> the TOPO frame.<br />

When transform<strong>in</strong>g from TOPO to a different frame, cvel and clean<br />

will perform software-Doppler-track<strong>in</strong>g<br />

= time-dependent regridd<strong>in</strong>g of the visibilties,<br />

even if number of channels and resolution don't change!<br />

Reference po<strong>in</strong>t of time is the first observation of the field <strong>in</strong> question.<br />

Necessary for essentially all scientific analysis.<br />

Typical syntax to get maximum resolution and not discard any data:<br />

cvel or clean (..., mode='channel', nchan=-1, width=1, start=0, outframe='LSRK')<br />

these are the default and can be omitted<br />

your choice<br />
