Make a component list for a known calibrator
Writes a component list to disk and returns a dict of
{'clist': filename of the component list,
'objname': objname,
'angdiam': angular diameter in radians (if used in clist),
'standard': standard,
'epoch': epoch,
'freqs': pl.array of frequencies, in GHz,
'antennalist': pl.array of baseline lengths, in m,
'amps': pl.array of predicted visibility amplitudes, in Jy,
'savedfig': False or, if made, the filename of a plot.}
or False on error.
objname: An object supported by standard.
standard: A standard for calculating flux densities, as in setjy.
Default: 'Butler-JPL-Horizons 2010'
epoch: The epoch to use for the calculations. Irrelevant for
extrasolar standards. (Uses UTC)
Examples: '2011-12-31/5:34:12', '2011-12-31-5:34:12'
minfreq: The minimum frequency to use.
Example: '342.0GHz'
maxfreq: The maximum frequency to use.
Default: minfreq
Example: '346.0GHz'
Example: '', anything <= 0, or None: use minfreq.
nfreqs: The number of frequencies to use.
Default: 1 if minfreq == maxfreq,
2 otherwise.
prefix: The component list will be saved to
prefix + 'spw0_<objname>_<minfreq><epoch>.cl'
Default: ''
Example: "Bands3to7_"
(which could produce 'Bands3to7_spw0_Uranus_100GHz55877d.cl',
depending on the other parameters)
antennalist: 'Observe' and plot the visibility amplitudes for this
antenna configuration. The file should be in a format usable
by simdata. The search path is:
.:casa['dirs']['data'] + '/alma/simmos/'
Default: '' (None, just make clist.)
Example: 'alma.cycle0.extended.cfg'
Subparameters of antennalist:
showplot: Whether or not to show a plot of S vs. |u| on screen.
Subparameter of antennalist.
Default: Necessarily False if antennalist is not specified.
True otherwise.
savefig: Filename for saving a plot of S vs. |u|.
Subparameter of antennalist.
Default: False (necessarily if antennalist is not specified)
Examples: '' (do not save the plot)
'myplot.png' (save to myplot.png)
symb: One of matplotlib's codes for plot symbols: .:,o^v<>s+xDd234hH|_
Default: ',': The smallest points I could find.
include0amp: Force the amplitude axis to start at 0?
Default: False
include0bl: Force the baseline axis to start at 0?
Default: False
blunit: unit of the baseline axis ('' or 'klambda')
Default:''=use a unit in the data
showbl0flux: Print the zero baseline flux?
Default: False
