The Best of Two Worlds: ALMA + IRAM30M Observations of the Orion Integral Shape Filament

We have investigated the internal gas structure of the Orion Integral

Shape filament using two large-scale, 150-pointing ALMA-12m mosaics and

previous IRAM30m single-dish (SD) observations. From the combination of

both single-dish and interferometric data we have produced a

high-dynamic range and high-sensitivity map describing the internal gas

structure of this filament at scales between 2 pc and 2000 AU (Hacar et

al, submitted to A&A). In a series of individual CASA reductions

(w/o SD data + w/o feathering), we have investigated the impact of the

different uv-coverages on both the total flux and line velocity

structure of our ALMA maps. Our analysis highlights the critical role

played by the zero-spacing data at the different stages of the cleaning

process. The results of these ALMA+IRAM30m experiments emphasize the

need of high-sensitivity SD observations for the analysis of large-scale

interferometric maps. During my talk, I will discuss the implications of

these experiments on the dawn of the ALMA era and in the context of the

new AtLAST telescope.
