Synopsis Continuum fitting and subtraction in the uv plane CALIBRATION
VERSION
Description
With this task, the continuum emission is estimated from the spectral windows
and channels selected by fitspw. Currently, only a constant continuum
(fitorder=0) is supported; this will be generalized in the near future. The data
may be averaged in time to increase the signal to noise for each continuum
estimate. This fit represents a model of the continuum in all channels.
The fitted continuum spectrum is subtracted from all channels selected in spw,
and the result (presumably only line emission) is stored in the
CORRECTED_DATA. The continuum fit is stored in the MODEL_DATA.
If desired, new MeasurementSets are generating containing the continuum and
continuum-subtracted line data.

Example
Continuum fitting and subtraction in the uv plane:
With this task, the continuum emission is estimated from the
spectral windows and channels selected by fitspw. Currently,
only a constant continuum (fitorder=0) is supported; this will
be generalized in the near future. The data may be averaged
in time to increase the signal to noise for each continuum
estimate. This fit represents a model of the continuum in
all channels.
The fitted continuum spectrum is subtracted from all channels
selected in spw, and the result (presumably only
line emission) is stored in the CORRECTED_DATA. The
continuum fit is stored in the MODEL_DATA.
If desired, new MeasurementSets are generating containing
the continuum and continuum-subtracted line data.
The input MeasurementSet should have calibrated data in
its DATA column.
Keyword arguments:
vis -- Name of input visibility file
default: none; example: vis=’ngc5921.ms’
field -- Field selection for continuum estimation, subtraction, and
(if splitdata=True) split
default: field = ’’ means select all fields
field = 1 # will get field_id=1 (if you give it an
integer, it will retrieve the source with that index.
field = ’1328+307’ specifies source ’1328+307’
field = ’13*’ will retrieve ’1328+307’ and any other fields
beginning with ’13’
fitspw -- Selection of spectral windows and channels to use in the
fit for the continuum, using general spw syntax
default: (all); example: fitspw=’0:5~30;40~55’
combine -- Data axes to combine for the continuum estimate
default: ’’ --> solutions will break at scan, field, and spw
boundaries according to solint
Options: ’’,’spw’’,’scan’,field’, or any comma-separated combination
example: combine=’spw’ --> form spw-averaged continuum estimate
solint -- Timescale for per-baseline fit (units optional)
default: ’int’ --> no averaging, fit every integration;
example: solint=’10s’ --> average to 10s before fitting
10 or ’10’ --> ’10s’ (unitless: assumes seconds)
options: ’int’ --> per integration
’inf’ --> per scan
fitorder -- Polynomial order for the fit of the continuum
default: 0 (constant); example: fitorder=1
spw -- Optional per spectral window selection of channels from
which to subtract the continuum.
default: spw=’’, means subtract from all channels for
each spw that had a continuum estimated
Also, this specifies which spw/chan will be split
out if splitdata=True.
splitdata -- Split out continuum and continuum subtracted line data
default: ’False’; example: splitdata=True
The continuum data will be placed in: vis.cont
The continuum subtracted data will be placed in: vis.contsub
async -- Run task in a separate process (return CASA prompt)
default: False; example: async=True
