The Dusty Galactic Center as Seen by SCUBA-2
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We present new JCMT SCUBA-2 observations of the Galactic Center region from and , covering 10 × 2 square degrees along the Galactic Plane to a depth of 43 mJy beam −1 at 850 μ m and 360 mJy beam −1 at 450 μ m. We describe the mapping strategy and reduction method used. We present 12 CO(3-2) observations of selected regions in the field. We derive the molecular-line conversion factors (mJy beam −1 per K km s −1 ) at 850 and 450 μ m, which are then used to obtain the amount of contamination in the continuum maps due to 12 CO(3-2) emission in the 850 μ m band. Toward the fields where the CO contamination has been accounted for, we present an 850 μ m CO-corrected compact source catalog. Finally, we look for possible physical trends in the CO contamination with respect to column density, mass, and concentration. No trends were seen in the data despite the recognition of three contributors to CO contamination: opacity, shocks, and temperature, which would be expected to relate to physical conditions. These SCUBA-2 Galactic Center data and catalog are available via https://doi.org/10.11570/17.0009 .

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
