On-The-Fly Mapping at AO: Sensitivity and Baseline Quality
K. Spekkens, C. M. Springob, R. Giovanelli, M. P. Haynes, K. L. Masters; Cornell

- Map 3 fields in 4 ways:

1. 2. 3. 4.

DRIFT MODE: 12s/beam "SLOW" OTF: 6s/beam "FAST" OTF, RA-Dec: 3s/beam "FAST" OTF, Dec-RA: 3s/beam

- Setup and preliminary analysis:
- L-narrow, 1385-1425 MHz coverage (4x12.5 MHz BPs, 12 kHz ch.) - 1s integrations across ~5 min strips; Nyquist sampled beam - Bandpass correction: divide each record by strip average

OTF Mapping: Sensitivity and Baseline Quality
For all methods (Drift, "slow" OTF , "fast" OTF):

· Theoretical sensitivity limit achieved; no trend in RMS across strip · "Flat" baselines: no harmonics in power spectrum Map sensitivity and baseline quality independent of mapping technique
