2008 Synthesis Imaging Workshop Tutorials - CASA

On June 13, 2008, we are holding three CASA Tutorials for participants in the 11th Synthesis Imaging Workshop in Socorro, New Mexico, to be held in classrooms 128 and 209 of Weir Hall (building 43 on the New Mexico Tech Campus map) Schedule 0900-1000 MDT: an introductory lecture and demonstration by Steve Myers in Weir 128 1000-1300 MDT: tutorials, using one of the supplied scripts as a starting point VLA continuum and spectral line tutorials --- Weir 128 BIMA millimeter wave tutorial --- Weir 209 1300-1500 MDT: lunch and tours at the AOC 1500-1700 MDT: continuation of tutorials Links to tutorials and relevant training materials Introduction to CASA and Basic Data Reduction --- S. Myers (PDF) VLA continuum tutorial --- 3C129 Script (polnAll.py) data (3C129 VLA Continuum data) VLA spectral line tutorial --- NGC2403 Script step 1 --- data loading and listing ( script2403_1.py) Script step 2 --- flagging and calibration ( script2403_2.py) Script step 3 --- continuum subtraction and imaging ( script2403_3.py) data (NGC2403 VLA HI Line data) millimeter wave tutorial --- NGC 4826 Script (ngc4826_tutorial.py) data (NGC4826 BIMA mm data) other VLA scripts you may want to try NGC5921 - 21cm HI data Script: ngc5921_usecase.py Data: NGC5921 21cm Jupiter - 6cm continuum data Full Demo Script: jupiter6cm_demo.py Script step 1: jupiter6cm_flagdemo.py Script step 2: jupiter6cm_caldemo.py Script step 3: jupiter6cm_imagingdemo.py Script step 4: jupiter6cm_poldemo.py Data: Jupiter 6cm Tutorial basics Some tutorials run from beginning to end, without requiring user input. Others stop at times to allow interactive use, and require a carriage return to continue Initially, participants may want to run the whole tutorial. After that, we recommend going through the tutorial in order, task by task, e.g. by cutting and pasting sections of the script into the CASA command interpreter, and by experimenting with a variety of parameter settings For further tutorial instructions click here.
