ALMA Memo 415 Phase Correction using Submillimeter Atmospheric Continuum Emission
We discuss a phase correction method using total power from submillimeter/millimeter SIS receivers. The discussion is based on FTS measurements and model calculations of submillimeter/millimeter atmospheric emission under various weather conditions. Liquid water in the atmosphere (cloud or fog) limits the phase correction accuracy using the total power measurements. Comparison between millimete...
متن کاملThe Nature of Linearly Polarized Millimeter and Sub-millimeter Emission in Sagittarius A*
The linearly polarized millimeter and sub-millimeter emission in Sagittarius A* is produced within 10 Schwarzschild radii of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center. We show that the millimeter emission likely originates from a hot accretion disk, where electrons are heated efficiently by turbulent plasma waves. The observed flux density and polarization requires that the disk have a...
متن کاملSubmillimeter Continuum Emission from Comets
We report submillimeter continuum observations of five comets obtained at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope on Mauna Kea. Two of the five comets (P/Brorsen-Metcalf and Okazaki-Levy-Rudenko) were detected at 800-~m wavelength, while physically significant upper limits were placed on the other three (Austin 1989Cl, P/Faye, and Levy 1990c). We compare the JCMT • data with millimeter continuum meas...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Millimeter-wave Mapping of Linearly Polarized Dust Emission: Magnetic Field Structure in Orion
We present 1.3 and 3.3 mm polarization maps of Orion-KL obtained with the BIMA array at approximately 4′′ resolution. Thermal emission from magnetically aligned dust grains produces the polarization. Along the Orion “ridge” the polarization position angle varies smoothly from about 10◦ to 40◦, in agreement with previous lower resolution maps. In a small region south of the Orion “hot core,” how...
متن کاملPolarized Far-infrared and Submillimeter Emission from Interstellar Dust
Polarized far-infrared and submillimeter emission is calculated for models of nonspherical dust grains that are constrained to reproduce the observed wavelength-dependent extinction and polarization of starlight. For emission from regions where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the line-of-sight, the far-infrared emission is expected to have substantial linear polarization at wavelengths λ...
