0.1.68 setjy
Requires:
Synopsis Fills the model column with the visibility of a calibrator
Description
The task places the model visibility amp and phase associated with a specified
clean components image into the model column of the data set. The flux
density for point source (I,Q,U,V) can be entered explicitly.
Models are available for 3C48, 3C138, 3C286 between 1.4 and 43 GHz. 3C147
is available above 13 GHz. These models are scaled to the precise frequency of
the data. Only I models are presently available.
The location of the models are system dependent: At the AOC, the models are
in the directory::/usr/lib/casapy/data/nrao/VLA/CalModels/ 3C286_L.im
(egs)
Setjy need only be run on the calibrator sources with a know flux density
and/or model.

Example
The task places the model visibility amp and phase associated
with a specified source (generally a calibrator).
The simplest way to to enter the flux density
(I,Q,U,V) explicitly, but this is valid only for a point source.
For an extended source, the clean model (image.model) can be
specified and the model visibilities associated with this clean
model is placed in the visibility model column.
Models are available for 3C48, 3C138, 3C286 between
1.4 and 43 GHz. 3C147 is available above 13 GHz. These models
are scaled to the precise frequency of the data. Only I source
model can be inserted at a time.
The location of the models are system dependent: At the AOC and CV,
the models are in the directory::/usr/lib/casapy/data/nrao/VLA/CalModels
or /usr/lib64/casapy/data/nrao/VLA/CalModel.
Setjy need only be run on the calibrator sources with a know flux
density and/or model.
Keyword arguments:
vis -- Name of input visibility file
default: none. example: vis=’ngc5921.ms’
field -- Select field using field id(s) or field name(s).
default: ’’=all fields, but run setjy one field at a time.
[run listobs to obtain the list id’s or names of calibrators]
If field string is a non-negative integer, it is assumed a field index
otherwise, it is assumed a field name
field=’0~2’; field ids 0,1,2
field=’0,4,5~7’; field ids 0,4,5,6,7
field=’3C286,3C295’; field named 3C286 adn 3C295
field = ’3,4C*’; field id 3, all names starting with 4C
spw -- Select spectral window/channels
default: ’’=all spectral windows and channels
spw=’0~2,4’; spectral windows 0,1,2,4 (all channels)
spw=’<2’; spectral windows less than 2 (i.e. 0,1)
spw=’0:5~61’; spw 0, channels 5 to 61
spw=’0,10,3:3~45’; spw 0,10 all channels, spw 3, channels 3 to 45.
spw=’0~2:2~6’; spw 0,1,2 with channels 2 through 6 in each.
spw=’0:0~10;15~60’; spectral window 0 with channels 0-10,15-60
spw=’0:0~10,1:20~30,2:1;2;4’; spw 0, channels 0-10,
spw 1, channels 20-30, and spw 2, channels, 1,2 and 4
Use one of the two methods below: modimage or fluxdensity
modimage -- Model image (I only) from which the model visibilities
default: ’’ means do not use model, but fluxdensity
Each field must be done separately. The image clean model
will be scaled from the frequency in the model to that actually used.
Both the amplitude and phase are calculated.
At the AOC or CV, the models are located in the
/usr/lib/casapy/data/nrao/VLA/CalModels/3C286_L.im (egs)
lib64
fluxdensity -- Specified flux density [I,Q,U,V] in Jy
default => -1, places [1,0,0,0] flux density for all sources,
except for 3C286, 3C48 and 3C147 where the absolute flux
density it added. It is recommended to use the modimage for
these sources if they are resolved with the observations.
Only one flux density can be executed at a time. The phases are
set to zero.
example fluxdensity=-1 will insert 1.0 for all calibrators
except 3C286, 3C147 and 3C48
example field = ’1’; fluxdensity=[3.2,0,0,0] wil put in
flux density of I=3.2 for field=’1’
At present, this is the only method to insert a polarized flux
density model (June 2000).
example: fluxdensity=[2.63,0.21,-0.33,0.02]
will put in I,Q,U,V flux densities of 2.63,0.21,-0.33,
and 0.02, respectively, in the model column.
standard -- Flux density standard, used if fluxdensity<0
default: ’Perley-Taylor 99’; example: standard=’Baars’
Options: ’Baars’,’Perley 90’,’Perley-Taylor 95’,
’Perley-Taylor 99’
