ALMA Central Molecular Zone Exploration Survey (ACES)-IV. Data of the two intermediate-width spectral windows
Abstract
We release the intermediate-width spectral window data from the ALMA Central Molecular Zone Exploration Survey (ACES) Large Program, which covers SiO(2-1), SO(22-11), H13CO+(1-0), H13CN(1-0), HN13C(1-0), and HC15N (1-0), among other molecular line transitions, with an angular resolution of ~2 arcsec and a velocity resolution of 1.7 km s-1 . The full cubes of the two spectral windows as well as the key data products will be available to the community. We also present the integrated brightness, peak brightness, centroid velocity, and Galactic longitude-velocity maps of the six lines. We briefly discuss morphological correlations between the continuum and the molecular line emission, and brightness ratios between pairs of isotopologue or isotopomer lines. We highlight features and trends in the data that will be followed up in upcoming ACES science papers.
