SHARC II Images

General Comment

All of the images below are generated from observations in which the telescope was scanned without chopping the secondary mirror.

January 2003 Commissioning Run


November 2002 Commissioning Run


DR21, Nov. 2002
DR21 imaged with a raster scanning mode. The integration time was 40 minutes in tau(225 GHz) = 0.100 at a scan rate of 20 arcsec/sec.

APM 08279+5255, Nov. 2002
APM 08279+5255, a ~0.4 Jy source at z = 3.9, imaged with a Lissajous scanning mode. The integration time was 3.2 hours in tau(225 GHz) = 0.059.

Moon, Nov. 2002 Moon, Nov. 2002
Central 15 arcminutes of the Moon imaged with a raster scanning mode. The integration time was 20 minutes at a scan rate of 30 arcsec/sec. The image at left shows the full intensity; a spatially smooth `background' has been removed from the image at right (courtesy R. Arendt) to enhance the small features (craters).

Jupiter and Ganymede, Nov. 2002 Saturn and Titan, Nov. 2002
Images of planets and satellites from November 2002.

IRAS05327-0457, Nov. 2002
IRAS05327-0457 -- near the north end of the Orion Molecular Cloud filament -- imaged with a raster scanning mode. The integration time was 40 minutes in tau(225 GHz) = 0.061 at a scan rate of 20 arcsec/sec.

OMC-4, Nov. 2002
OMC-4 -- near the south end of the Orion Molecular Cloud filament -- imaged with a raster scanning mode. The integration time was 40 minutes in tau(225 GHz) = 0.053 at a scan rate of 20 arcsec/sec.
