Agenda:

1. Current issues and limitations with line/cube cleaning

• Status of pipeline processing of cubes 
  
• Status of QA: 
  
  • Who is working on what?
    
  • metadata table: cube beam-sizes 
    

QA new cubes for G337 (Mélisse): 
(B3-spw0, B3-n2hp, B6-spw1, B6-sio  - versions: November2020)

B3-spw0: 

• beam = 0.61’’ x 0.52’’   (compared to 1.06’’ x 0.97’’ in September2020)
  
• first channel shows only half of the field of view
  
• last 4 channels are empty (1920-1924)
  
• image appears slightly 'noisier' than in the version of September2020
  

B6-spw1:

• beam = 0.80’’ x 0.66’’ (compared to 0.81’’ x 0.68’’ in Sept2020)
  
• first 109 channels are empty 
  

 
B3-n2hp:

• continuum startmodel: check model components
  

For anyone doing QA: only look at cubes generated from September onwards.

1. Status of on-going projects

• Manuel+Estrella ?
  
• LAB: 
  
  • Melisse on G337: tests with Imager (comparing Casa/Imager cubes) going on
