GBTIDL Data Reduction Examples for the GBT Standard Observing Modes

SOM # Name Description Data Reduction Description Data Reduction Example in IDL
1 Position Switched - Single Beam For taking spectra of compact sources Data Reduction Case Data Reduction Example in IDL
2 Position Switched - Dual Beam For taking spectra of compact sources while keeping one beam on source for all integrations Data Reduction Case Data Reduction Example in IDL
3 Total Power Track For building custom observing schemes such as On-Off observations with multiple "Ons" per "Off"; for measuring variations in continuum flux Data Reduction Case Data Reduction Example in IDL
4 Frequency Switched Track For taking spectra of extended sources, or improving observing efficiency at the expense of bandwidth coverage for compact sources} Data Reduction Case Data Reduction Example in IDL
5 Beam Switched No specific advantages to beam switching at this time, but the technique allows one to alternate the IF path seen by each of two feed horns at a rapid switching rate Data Reduction Case Data Reduction Example in IDL
6 Point Map (Grid Mapping) For taking deep spectra at discrete, regularly sampled locations    
7 OTF Map For taking fully sampled spectra of bright lines    
8 Continuum Map For taking continuum maps    
9 Pointing Corrections For updating local pointing corrections Data Reduction Case Data Reduction Example in IDL
10 Focus Corrections For updating local focus correction Data Reduction Case Data Reduction Example in IDL
11 Tipping Scan (Sky Dip) For measuring atmospheric opacity Data Reduction Case Data Reduction Example in IDL
12 VLBI For using the GBT as an element in a VLB array   Not Supported
13 Pulsar For all pulsar modes   Not Supported
14 Radar For reception of radar echoes   Not Supported
