NIKA2 maps of NGC891 at 1mm (Upper) and at 2mm (Lower), after correction for the position angle of 22.5deg. The maps cover 12'x2' and show half-power beamwidths of 12" and 18". Contours show 10% (dashed), and 20% to 80% in steps of 20% (drawn) of the peak flux densities (82mJy/beam at 1mm and 18mJy/beam at 2mm). Peak 1.3mm flux density of Guelin et al. (1996) is 62mJy/beam. The 1mm map of Guelin et al. shows much more detailed structure than the NIKA2 1mm map though the resolutions should be very similar. The surroundings of the galaxy still show somewhat negative flux densities, as a histogram of all flux densities would show more clearly. One of the next steps is to construct averages along the major axes, also to compare with Figure 2 in Hughes et al.. The vertical profile in Figure 2 of Guelin et al. looks very strange in comparison with the profiles from PACS and SPIRE maps.

The vertical structure seen in the NIKA2 maps looks very smooth, qualitatively similar to the Herschel maps shown in Hughes et al..

NGC891

An offline data reduction was made using the 16 scans performed during good weather. The nk pipeline Rev 9881 was used with a single point source as a mask and a single common mode removal. Both 1mm arrays are used and coadded in a single map. Here are the data : say V1

The data will soon be reprocessed by masking the whole edge-on galaxy. Here they are : say V2

Three arrays not coadded
