Part of the data obtained during Sitelle Commissioning (August 2015) and Science Verification (January 2016)
are publically available. These data are presented in
this presentation made by
SITELLE's PI Laurent Drissen at the 2016 CFHT User's meeting.
The following table gives a description of the
spectral cubes properties and the corresponding link to the reduced data. These spectral cubes have been reduced by
ORBS href="" , a data reduction software specifically written for SITELLE (and its prototype instrument SPIOMM
at Observatoire du Mont Mégantic by Thomas Martin at Laval University). All cubes are calibrated in
wavelength and in flux, and are given as a function of wavelength (nm).
Papers and conference presentations on SITELLE are also available on
this web page .
One thing to remember when browsing through the cubes: SITELLE's instrument line function is a sinc, not a gaussian;
therefore, negative images of the sources appear on channels adjacent to the line core.
This is perfectly normal, and all the information included in these sidelobes are fully taken into account by ORCS,
SITELLE's data analysis software (more details available here ).
Questions regarding the data can be addressed to Laurent Drissen (ldrissen at phy.ulaval.ca) and Thomas Martin
(thomas.martin.1 at ulaval.ca).
