imager.smooth - Function

2.3.1 Calculate an image smoothed with a Gaussian beam

Description

The model images are convolved with the specified Gaussian beam. By default (normalize=T), the beam volume is normalized to unity so that the smoothing is flux preserving. The smoothing used in restoration is not normalized.

Arguments


Inputs
model	Name of input model
	allowed:	stringArray
	Default:
image	Name of output smoothed images
	allowed:	stringArray
	Default:
usefit	Use the fitted value (rather than that specified
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	true
bmaj	Major axis of beam
	allowed:	any
	Default:	variant 5.arcsec
bmin	Minor axis of beam
	allowed:	any
	Default:	variant 5.arcsec
bpa	Position angle of beam
	allowed:	any
	Default:	variant 0deg
normalize	Normalize volume of psf to unity
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	true
async	Run asynchronously in the background
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	false

Returns
bool

Example

- im.smooth(model=’3C273XC1.clean’, image=’3C273XC1.clean.restored’,
bmaj=’2.0arcsec’, bmin=’2.0arcsec’)
