1 Sky frequencies before correction for Odin velocity relative to Mars ($\pm $7 to $\pm $33 MHz); U: upper side band, L = lower side band of the receiver.
2 The average pointing bias provided by the attitude reconstruction versus targeted Mars position is 7 $^{\prime \prime }$ with $\approx$5 $^{\prime \prime }$ uncertainty in June. In addition the misalignment between the true telescope axis and the one modelled relative to the Odin platform and star-trackers is at most 15 $^{\prime \prime }$. The 549 A1, 555 B2 and 495 A2 beams are also slightly misaligned by 7-10 $^{\prime \prime }$ from ground measurements and $\approx$10 $^{\prime \prime }$ in space on Jupiter maps. The difference in the continuum signal of Mars between the various frequencies can be an effect of slightly different pointing and also differences in true beam efficiencies. An additional pointing drift at the end of each orbit in June (up to 70 $^{\prime \prime }$ for a few minutes) is not included here and apparently not well reconstructed in the attitude files.
3 "OFF'' position is at an offset of 2 to 3$^\circ$ instead of 15$^\prime$.
