Abstract

We present the data reduction and analysis pipeline for the SuperSpec-MUSCAT Collaboration (SuMaC) along with several key science data products. In Summer 2025, SuperSpec on-chip spectrometers operating from 190-300 GHz at R~200 were deployed on the MUSCAT focal plane at the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT), obtaining several days of high-quality on-sky data. Analysis of these data has been used to characterize noise performance and study spectra of various astrophysical sources, establishing the instrument’s viability for future line intensity mapping (LIM) deployments. We discuss calibration methods, data processing options, and preliminary analysis of the observed sources.
