Notes. 

(1)

In the 2 mm band, each frequency setting is observed twice, i.e. once at each of the two spectral resolutions (0.32 and 1 MHz), while in the 197–265 GHz band, each frequency setting is observed only one time, at a slightly different spectral resolution (1 or 1.25 MHz),

(2)

rms is given in 1.5 km s-1 bins,

(3)

σCal is the calibration uncertainty,

(4)

Ncal is the number of compared lines for calibration purposes,

(5)

Pcal is the percentage of compared spectra for calibration purposes,

(6)

these values refer to the “internal” comparison between VESPA and 1 MHz FB spectra simultaneously observed; the other ones refer to “external” comparisons with published or previously obtained observations.
