  • Summary
    • Download the HI Data
    • Download the HI Fits Cube
  • Some things to pay attention to here:
  • Try messing around with slicing the cube along different axes, or picking out different spectra
    • Make a smaller cube, focusing on the Magellanic Clouds
    • Cut along the Spectral Axis:
    • Moment Maps
    • Create a new spectral slab isolating just the SMC and slice along a different dimension to create a latitude-velocity diagram
  • DATA SMC - Galaxy
  • DATA other - Galaxy?
    • Find and Download a Herschel Image
    • Overlay HI 21 cm Contours on the IR 30 micron Image
    • Using reproject to match image resolutions
