A Guide to Reducing Spectroscopic Data Taken at the HHT Craig Kulesa Version 0.9, August 2001

The Heinrich Hertz Telescope on Mt. Graham is a 10-meter dish of 15 micron surface accuracy, optimized for studying the Universe at submillimeter wavelengths (between 0.3-1.4 mm, or 200-900 GHz). It has seen routine scientific use since 1996. One of the principal observing modes at the HHT is high-resolution spectroscopy, made possible by sensitive heterodyne receivers and backend spectrometers. This document follows the reduction of several spectroscopic datasets to publishable results, and includes easily-installable RPM packages of the GILDAS software for use at your own computer.
