FCRAO Perseus 13CO cubes and map

<p><b>Description:</b><br /> 3D data cube of <sup>13</sup>CO emission in Perseus. Data were obtained at FCRAO using the On-the-Fly (OTF) mapping method during 2002-2004. Units are uncorrected antenna temperature (T<sub>A</sub><sup>*</sup>) in Kelvin. Up-to-date values of the forward-scattering efficiency (eta_n) can be obtained from the FCRAO website. Velocities are in m/s. <br />The map has a Samsom-Flamsteed (SFL) projection. </p> <p><b>Telescope:</b><br /> <a href="http://www.astro.umass.ed

The spectra are re-gridded to 23" pixels (approximately Nyquist sampled). </p> <p><b>Areal Coverage:</b><br /> Approx 6.25 by 3 degrees</p> <p><b>Map Center (Galactic):</b><br /> l = +159:13:00<br /> b = -19:15:00</p> <p><b>Map Center (J2000):</b><br /> R
A = 03:37:00 <br /> Dec = +31:49:00</p> <p><b>Comments on Resolution:</b><br /> The resolution of FCRAO at 110GHz is approximately 46". Data are convolved onto a 23" grid.</p>
