COMMENT The TEMPERATURE field is full-beam brightness temperature,
COMMENT calibrated using 438.5 mK/(Jy/beam) and a 3300 mK offset.
COMMENT The SENSITIVITY field is the square root of the sum of squares
COMMENT of the beam weights, a measure of coverage. A value of n is
COMMENT essentially equal to n^2 independent boresight observations.
