ThrUMMS Sample Images

---

All current images are from ThrUMMS DR4 or pre-release DR6 products. Actual fits cubes are available in the Data Release Bank.

Example Widefield view of ¹³CO

 

A 6° × 2° field of ¹³CO emission, taken 0.5° at a time, during the 2010-15 observing seasons. (top) Integrated intensity and (bottom) velocity field, calculated using a smooth-and-mask (SAM) algorithm. Some residual poor-weather artifacts are still visible in these images, but these will eventually be eliminated.

 

Example view of Sector 348 in ¹²CO (red), ¹³CO (green), and C¹⁸O (blue)

 

Simultaneously mapped ThrUMMS species over a 9° × 2° area, centered around l = 351°. In this rendering, different line ratios can be seen as different colours: redder areas likely have higher excitation temperature and lower optical depth in the CO lines, while greener or bluer areas have higher optical depth and lower temperature.
