imager.predictcomp - Function

2.3.1 Make a component list for a known object

Description

Make a component list for an object recognized by standard, one of setjy’s flux density standards.

Arguments


Inputs
objname	Name of the object
	allowed:	string
	Default:
standard	Name of the flux standard
	allowed:	string
	Default:
epoch	Time to use, as an epoch measure, e.g. me.epoch(’UTC’, ’55555d’), for Solar System objects
	allowed:	any
	Default:	variant 55555.0d epoch measure
freqs	The frequencies to use, in Hz
	allowed:	doubleArray
	Default:	1.0e11
pfx	Prefix for the name of the component list
	allowed:	string
	Default:	predictcomp

Returns
string

Example

clname = im.predictcomp(’Ceres’, ’Butler-JPL-Horizons 2010’,
’2012-02-14/13:33:00’, [3.45e11, 6.90e11], ’vd_’)

This writes a component "list" named vd_spw0_Ceres_345GHz55971.6d.cl to disk
containing a uniform disk component for Ceres as it is expected to appear at
345 and 690 GHz at 2012-02-14/13:33:00 UTC, and returns the name of the
component list. Returns ’’ on error.
