0.1.16 fixvis
Requires:
Synopsis Recalculates (u, v, w)
Description
This corrects visibilities, and/or their (u, v, w) positions, for various effects
that can be calculated without fitting a model to the data.
The effects include:
-
calculating
(u,
v,
w)
coordinates,
-
changing
the
refcode
(i.e.
B1950
to
J2000,
etc.),
-
refocusing
(Not
yet
incorporated).
Arguments
|
|
|
|
| Inputs | |
|
| vis | | Name of the input visibility set.
|
| | | allowed: | string |
| | | Default: | |
| outputvis | | Name of the output visibility set. (Can be the same as
vis.)
|
| | | allowed: | string |
| | | Default: | |
| fields | | Fields to operate on. Blank = all.
|
| | | allowed: | any |
| | | Default: | variant ”” |
| refcode | | Reference frame to use for the generated (u, v, w)s.
WARNING: clean and the im tool ignore the reference
frame claimed by the UVW column (it is often
mislabelled) and instead assume the (u, v, w)s are in the
same frame as the phase tracking center. fixvis does not
yet force the UVW column and field centers to use the
same reference frame! Blank = use the frame of vis.

| | | allowed: | string |
| | | Default: | J2000 |

Example
This task calculates (u, v, w) coordinates, and optionally changes the
reference frame (i.e. B1950 to J2000 and back).
Not yet implemented, or incorporated in this task, are:
changing the phase tracking center(s),
changing the projection (i.e SIN to or from (-)NCP).
correcting for differential aberration,
adjusting antenna positions,
fixing clock errors,
and refocusing to a finite distance.
Input Parameters:
vis --- Name of input measurement set.
ex: vis=’my.ms’
outputvis --- Name of the output measurement set. (Can be the same as vis.)
ex: outputvis = ’myrefocused.ms’
fields --- Selection string for the fields to operate on. ’’ = all.
refcode --- Reference frame to use for the generated (u, v, w)s,
i.e. ’J2000’, ’B1950’, ’GALACTIC’, etc.. A full list of
codes can be gotten from
’csys=cs.newcoordsys(True);csys.referencecode(’dir’,True);csys.done()’
The reference frame cannot be changed when only some of the
fields are selected.
Default: ’J2000’.
’’ means use the reference frame of the UVW column in the
input ms.
ex: refcode = ’B1950_VLA’
WARNING: clean and the im tool ignore the reference frame
claimed by the UVW column (it is often mislabelled) and
instead assume the (u, v, w)s are in the same frame as the
phase tracking center(s) of the MS. fixvis does not yet
force the UVW column and field centers to use the same
reference frame!
Example:
fixvis(vis=’my.ms’, outputvis=’myrefocused.ms’, ’J2000’)
