Document drafted by Timea, but feel free to add notes

Agenda:

1. Status of data processing tools (ADMIT, IMAGER)
   • Lee:  ADMIT tool: provide initial linelist to work in into the tool.
   • Contact Lee if needed to get started
   • Adam: Linelist  on github + google doc

    https://github.com/ALMA-IMF/hotcores <- place to put line lists, code related to hot cores, etc.  This is private, so you must request access (give Adam your username)

• spectral-cube tutorial too, perhaps
• Hot core WG page: https://github.com/ALMA-IMF/reduction/wiki/Hot-core-WG

        Question to Adam: is this site protected in some way? Can I continue to use it for this purpose or better to move to a Google doc? Adam: this version (https://github.com/ALMA-IMF/hotcores/blob/master/README.md ->  https://github.com/ALMA-IMF/hotcores/blob/master/telecon_notes.md ) is private

1. Status of on-going projects

• Manuel+Estrella: current status
  • Spectra towards W51E seem to have baseline issues towards some positions (in cubes where the baseline is subtracted) -> this seems to vary from different versions
  • How to improve the continuum subtraction?
    • discussion on whether to clean cubes with or without the continuum: easier to do the clean with uvcontsub first
    • Manuel: imcontsub
  • Why is the average baseline curved? -> check the different data versions, reminder of a previous issue with Jordan’s field
• LAB: 
  • Melisse (+Timea): presenting on G337: issue with non detection of some species?
  • Nathalie: complete the line-list for the following weeks

1. Current issues and limitations with line/cube cleaning

• Cubes: what is the current status?
  • https://bio.rc.ufl.edu/secure/adamginsburg/ALMA-IMF/cube_quicklooks
• Cubes: how well these will be useable for the most line-rich sources? Any post-processing needed? What softwares/methods will be used for their exploitation?

1. Current issues and limitations with line/cube cleaning

• Roberto’s notes for issues with line/cube cleaning

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nNmpEcD-axjVrHRowfcK3cImaZ0xrapBRcWnCg-HkVI/edit#heading=h.wc0r6ja4cl6f + the new issue with Tsys

• Cubes: how well these will be useable for the most line-rich sources? Any post-processing needed? What softwares/methods will be used for their exploitation?

https://github.com/astroumd/admit => a tool to automatically analyse cubes
