Table A.2.
Clean-beam parameters used in the analysis of the full spectral bands in the realistic good-case scenario with an only slightly elliptical beam. The position angle given in the fifth column is the resulting output from the simulated observations, but all the setups were given the same value of the position angle, ϕ = 80deg to enable one-to-one comparisons. The array configurations we used are those for cycle 5 included in the simobserve tool. The ACA array was included. The spectral bands that are not yet commissioned for solar observations (marked with a dagger) are assigned frequencies (cf. Table A.1) according to the standard continuum values (see ALMA cycle 8 technical handbook, Remijan et al. 2020). The array configurations that are not yet commissioned for solar observations with the specific spectral band are marked with an asterisk. The longest baseline of the respective configuration is given in Col. 5 and the 80th percentile baseline in Col. 6 (Remijan et al. 2020).
