The MUSTANG-2 team is able to produce the following data products for all MUSTANG-2 projects: A calibrated map either in Jy/beam or Kelvin (main beam). Each scan is gridded individually. Maps are stacked via weighted averaging. An associated noise map The default noise map, for a single scan, flips every other detector. The combined noise […]
