imagename Pre-name of output images
|
|
164
|
-
|
|
165
|
-
example : imagename='try'
|
|
166
|
-
|
|
167
|
-
Output images will be (a subset of) :
|
|
168
|
-
|
|
169
|
-
try.psf - Point Spread Function (PSF).
|
|
170
|
-
try.residual - Residual image.
|
|
171
|
-
try.image - Restored image.
|
|
172
|
-
try.model - Model image (contains only flux components).
|
|
173
|
-
try.sumwt - Single pixel image containing sum-of-weights.
|
|
174
|
-
(for natural weighting, sensitivity=1/sqrt(sumwt)).
|
|
175
|
-
try.pb - Primary Beam (PB) model (values depend on the gridder used).
|
|
176
|
-
|
|
177
|
-
A-projection algorithms (gridder=mosaic,awproject, awp2) will
|
|
178
|
-
compute the following images too.
|
|
179
|
-
|
|
180
|
-
try.weight - FT of gridded weights or the
|
|
181
|
-
un-normalized sum of PB-square (for all pointings).
|
|
182
|
-
Here, PB = sqrt(weight) normalized to a maximum of 1.0.
|
|
183
|
-
|
|
184
|
-
For multi-term wideband imaging, all relevant images above will
|
|
185
|
-
have additional .tt0,.tt1, etc suffixes to indicate Taylor terms,
|
|
186
|
-
plus the following extra output images.
|
|
187
|
-
try.alpha - spectral index.
|
|
188
|
-
try.alpha.error - estimate of error on spectral index.
|
|
189
|
-
try.beta - spectral curvature (if nterms \> 2).
|
|
190
|
-
|
|
191
|
-
Tip : Include a directory name in 'imagename' for all
|
|
192
|
-
output images to be sent there instead of the
|
|
193
|
-
current working directory : imagename='mydir/try'.
|
|
194
|
-
|
|
195
|
-
Tip : Restarting an imaging run without changing 'imagename'
|
|
196
|
-
implies continuation from the existing model image on disk.
|
|
197
|
-
- If 'startmodel' was initially specified it needs to be set to ""
|
|
198
|
-
for the restart run (or tclean will exit with an error message).
|
|
199
|
-
- By default, the residual image and psf will be recomputed
|
|
200
|
-
but if no changes were made to relevant parameters between
|
|
201
|
-
the runs, set calcres=False, calcpsf=False to resume directly from
|
|
202
|
-
the minor cycle without the (unnecessary) first major cycle.
|
|
203
|
-
To automatically change 'imagename' with a numerical
|
|
204
|
-
increment, set restart=False (see tclean docs for 'restart').
|
|
205
|
-
|
|
206
|
-
Note : All imaging runs will by default produce restored images.
|
|
207
|
-
For a niter=0 run, this will be redundant and can optionally
|
|
208
|
-
be turned off via the 'restoration=T/F' parameter.
|
|
209
|
-
imsize Number of pixels
|
|
210
|
-
example:
|
|
211
|
-
|
|
212
|
-
imsize = [350,250].
|
|
213
|
-
imsize = 500 is equivalent to [500,500].
|
|
214
|
-
|
|
215
|
-
To take proper advantage of internal optimized FFT routines, the
|
|
216
|
-
number of pixels must be even and factorizable by 2,3,5 only.
|
|
217
|
-
To find the nearest optimal imsize to that desired by the user, please use the following tool method:
|
|
218
|
-
|
|
219
|
-
from casatools import synthesisutils
|
|
220
|
-
su = synthesisutils()
|
|
221
|
-
su.getOptimumSize(345)
|
|
222
|
-
Output : 360
|
|
223
|
-
cell Cell size
|
|
224
|
-
example: cell=['0.5arcsec,'0.5arcsec'] or
|
|
225
|
-
cell=['1arcmin', '1arcmin'].
|
|
226
|
-
cell = '1arcsec' is equivalent to ['1arcsec','1arcsec'].
|
|
227
|
-
phasecenter Phase center of the image (string or field id); if the phasecenter is the name known major solar system object ('MERCURY', 'VENUS', 'MARS', 'JUPITER', 'SATURN', 'URANUS', 'NEPTUNE', 'PLUTO', 'SUN', 'MOON') or is an ephemerides table then that source is tracked and the background sources get smeared. There is a special case, when phasecenter='TRACKFIELD', which will use the ephemerides or polynomial phasecenter in the FIELD table of the MS's as the source center to track.
|
|
228
|
-
|
|
229
|
-
Note : If unspecified, tclean will use the phase-center from the first data field of the MS (or list of MSs) selected for imaging.
|
|
230
|
-
|
|
231
|
-
example: phasecenter='6'.
|
|
232
|
-
phasecenter='J2000 19h30m00 -40d00m00'.
|
|
233
|
-
phasecenter='J2000 292.5deg -40.0deg'.
|
|
234
|
-
phasecenter='J2000 5.105rad -0.698rad'.
|
|
235
|
-
phasecenter='ICRS 13:05:27.2780 -049.28.04.458'.
|
|
236
|
-
phasecenter='myComet_ephem.tab'.
|
|
237
|
-
phasecenter='MOON'.
|
|
238
|
-
phasecenter='TRACKFIELD'.
|
|
239
|
-
stokes Stokes Planes to make
|
|
240
|
-
default='I'; example: stokes='IQUV';
|
|
241
|
-
Options: 'I','Q','U','V','IV','QU','IQ','UV','IQUV','RR','LL','XX','YY','RRLL','XXYY','pseudoI'
|
|
242
|
-
|
|
243
|
-
Note : Due to current internal code constraints, if any correlation pair

is flagged, by default, no data for that row in the MS will be used.
|
|
245
|
-
So, in an MS with XX,YY, if only YY is flagged, neither a
|
|
246
|
-
Stokes I image nor an XX image can be made from those data points.
|
|
247
|
-
In such a situation, please split out only the unflagged correlation into
|
|
248
|
-
a separate MS, or use the option 'pseudoI'.
|
|
249
|
-
|
|
250
|
-
Note : The 'pseudoI' option is a partial solution, allowing Stokes I imaging
|
|
251
|
-
when either of the parallel-hand correlations are unflagged.

The remaining constraints shall be removed (where logical) in a future release.

startmodel Name of starting model image
|
|
259
|
-
|
|
260
|
-
The contents of the supplied starting model image will be
|
|
261
|
-
copied to the imagename.model before the run begins.
|
|
262
|
-
|
|
263
|
-
example : startmodel = 'singledish.im'.
|
|
264
|
-
|
|
265
|
-
For deconvolver='mtmfs', one image per Taylor term must be provided.
|
|
266
|
-
example : startmodel = ['try.model.tt0', 'try.model.tt1'].
|
|
267
|
-
startmodel = ['try.model.tt0'] will use a starting model only
|
|
268
|
-
for the zeroth order term.
|
|
269
|
-
startmodel = ['','try.model.tt1'] will use a starting model only
|
|
270
|
-
for the first order term.
|
|
271
|
-
|
|
272
|
-
This starting model can be of a different image shape and size from
|
|
273
|
-
what is currently being imaged. If so, an image regrid is first triggered
|
|
274
|
-
to resample the input image onto the target coordinate system.
|
|
275
|
-
|
|
276
|
-
A common usage is to set this parameter equal to a single dish image.
|
|
277
|
-
|
|
278
|
-
Negative components in the model image will be included as is.
|
|
279
|
-
|
|
280
|
-
Note : If an error occurs during image resampling/regridding,
|
|
281
|
-
please try using task imregrid to resample the starting model
|
|
282
|
-
image onto a CASA image with the target shape and
|
|
283
|
-
coordinate system before supplying it via startmodel.

specmode Spectral definition mode (mfs,cube,cubedata, cubesource, mvc)
|
|
285
|
-
|
|
286
|
-
specmode='mfs' : Continuum imaging with only one output image channel.
|

(mode='cont' can also be used here)
|

288
|
-
|
|
289
|
-
specmode='cube' : Spectral line imaging with one or more channels.
|
|
290
|
-
Parameters start, width,and nchan define the spectral
|
|
291
|
-
coordinate system and can be specified either in terms
|
|
292
|
-
of channel numbers, frequency or velocity in whatever
|
|
293
|
-
spectral frame is specified in 'outframe'.
|
|
294
|
-
All internal and output images are made with outframe as the
|
|
295
|
-
base spectral frame. However imaging code internally uses the fixed
|
|
296
|
-
spectral frame, LSRK for automatic internal software
|
|
297
|
-
Doppler correction, so that a spectral line observed over an
|
|
298
|
-
extended time range will line up appropriately.
|
|
299
|
-
Therefore the output images have additional spectral frame conversion
|
|
300
|
-
layer in LSRK on the top the base frame.
|
|

|
-
|
|

|
|
305
|
-
specmode='cubedata' : Spectral line imaging with one or more channels.
|
|
306
|
-
There is no internal software Doppler correction, so
|
|
307
|
-
a spectral line observed over an extended time range
|
|
308
|
-
may be smeared out in frequency. There is strictly
|
|
309
|
-
no valid spectral frame with which to associate with the
|
|
310
|
-
output images, thus the image spectral frame will
|
|
311
|
-
be labelled "Undefined".

specmode='cubesource': Spectral line imaging while
|
|
315
|
-
tracking moving source (near field or solar system
|
|
316
|
-
objects). The velocity of the source is accounted
|
|
317
|
-
and the frequency reported is in the source frame.
|
|
318
|
-
As there is no "SOURCE" frame defined in CASA,
|
|
319
|
-
the frame in the image will be labelled "REST" (but do note the
|
|
320
|
-
velocity of a given line reported may be different from the rest frame
|
|
321
|
-
velocity if the emission region is moving w.r.t the systemic
|
|
322
|
-
velocity frame of the source).

specmode='mvc' : Multiterm continuum imaging with cube major cycles.
|
|
325
|
-
This mode requires deconvolver='mtmfs' with nterms>1
|
|
326
|
-
and user-set choices of 'reffreq' and 'nchan'.
|
|
327
|
-
|
|
328
|
-
The output images and minor cycle are similar to specmode='mfs'
|
|
329
|
-
with deconvolver='mtmfs', but the major cycles are done in
|
|
330
|
-
cube mode (and require a setting of 'reffreq' and 'nchan').
|
|
331
|
-
By default, frequency-dependent primary beam correction is
|
|
332
|
-
applied to each channel, before being combined across frequency
|
|
333
|
-
to make the inputs to the 'mtmfs' deconvolver. This results in
|
|
334
|
-
implicit wideband pb-correction, with the deconvolver seeing only
|
|
335
|
-
the sky spectral structure.
|
|
336
|
-
|
|
337
|
-
Note : There is currently no option to turn off wideband pb correction
|
|
338
|
-
as part of the flat-sky normalization between the major and minor cycles.
|
|
339
|
-
Therefore, 'mvc' with the 'standard' and 'wproject' gridders will also apply
|
|
340
|
-
pblimits per channel, masking all regions outside of pblimit.
|
|
341
|
-
An option to retain sources outside the pblimit will be added in a future release.
|
|
342
|
-
|
|
343
|
-
Note : Below is some guidance for choosing 'nchan' and 'reffreq' :
|
|
344
|
-
|
|
345
|
-
The cube produced by the major cycle is used in a linear least square fits for Taylor
|
|
346
|
-
polynomials per pixel. Therefore, one only needs as many channels in the cube, as
|
|
347
|
-
required for an accurate polynomial fit for sources that have the strongest
|
|
348
|
-
spectral structure.
|
|
349
|
-
|
|
350
|
-
In general, 'nchan' needs to be greater than or equal to 'nterms', and the
|
|
351
|
-
frequency range selected by the data will be evenly split into nchan channels.
|
|
352
|
-
For a low-order polynomial fit, only a small number (around 10)
|
|
353
|
-
channels are typically needed (for VLA/ALMA bandwidth ratios).
|
|
354
|
-
'nchan=-1' applies a heuristic that results in a default of 10 cube channels
|
|
355
|
-
for a 2:1 bandwidth ratio.
|
|
356
|
-
|
|
357
|
-
nchan = MAX( bandwidth/(0.1*startfreq) , nterms+1 )
|
|
358
|
-
|
|
359
|
-
Note: When running in parallel, the nchan selected may limit the speedup if it
|
|
360
|
-
is smaller than the number of processes used.
|
|
361
|
-
|
|
362
|
-
The 'reffreq' is the reference frequency used for the Taylor polynomial expansion.
|
|
363
|
-
By default, in specmode='mvc', reffreq is set to the middle of the selected
|
|
364
|
-
frequency range.
|
|
365
|
-
reffreq Reference frequency of the output image coordinate system.
|
|
366
|
-
|
|
367
|
-
Example : reffreq='1.5GHz' as a string with units.
|
|
368
|
-
|
|
369
|
-
By default, it is calculated as the middle of the selected frequency range.
|
|
370
|
-
|
|
371
|
-
For deconvolver='mtmfs' the Taylor expansion is also done about
|
|
372
|
-
this specified reference frequency.
|
|
373
|
-
nchan Number of channels in the output image.
|
|
374
|
-
For default (=-1), the number of channels will be automatically determined
|
|
375
|
-
based on data selected by 'spw' with 'start' and 'width'.
|
|
376
|
-
It is often easiest to leave nchan at the default value.
|
|
377
|
-
example: nchan=100
|
|
378
|
-
start First channel (e.g. start=3,start=\'1.1GHz\',start=\'15343km/s\')
|
|
379
|
-
of output cube images specified by data channel number (integer),
|
|
380
|
-
velocity (string with a unit), or frequency (string with a unit).
|
|
381
|
-
Default:''; The first channel is automatically determined based on
|
|
382
|
-
the 'spw' channel selection and 'width'.
|
|
383
|
-
channels in 'spw'.
|
|
384
|
-
Since the integer number in 'start' represents the data channel number,
|
|
385
|
-
when the channel number is used along with the spectral window id selection
|
|
386
|
-
in 'spw', 'start' specified as an integer should be carefully set otherwise
|
|
387
|
-
it may result in the blank image channels if the 'start' channel (i.e. absolute
|
|
388
|
-
channel number) is outside of the channel range specified in 'spw'.
|
|
389
|
-
In such a case, 'start' can be left as a default (='') to ensure
|
|
390
|
-
matching with the data spectral channel selection.
|
|
391
|
-
For specmode='cube', when velocity or frequency is used it is
|
|
392
|
-
interpreted with the frame defined in outframe. [The parameters of
|
|
393
|
-
the desired output cube can be estimated by using the 'transform'
|
|
394
|
-
functionality of 'plotms'].
|
|
395
|
-
examples: start='5.0km/s'; 1st channel, 5.0km/s in outframe.
|
|
396
|
-
start='22.3GHz'; 1st channel, 22.3GHz in outframe.
|
|
397
|
-
width Channel width (e.g. width=2,width=\'0.1MHz\',width=\'10km/s\') of output cube images
|
|
398
|
-
specified by data channel number (integer), velocity (string with a unit), or
|
|
399
|
-
or frequency (string with a unit).
|
|
400
|
-
Default:''; data channel width.
|
|
401
|
-
The sign of width defines the direction of the channels to be incremented.
|
|
402
|
-
For width specified in velocity or frequency with '-' in front gives image channels in
|
|
403
|
-
decreasing velocity or frequency, respectively.
|
|
404
|
-
For specmode='cube', when velocity or frequency is used it is interpreted with
|
|
405
|
-
the reference frame defined in outframe.
|
|
406
|
-
examples: width='2.0km/s'; results in channels with increasing velocity.
|
|
407
|
-
width='-2.0km/s'; results in channels with decreasing velocity.
|
|
408
|
-
width='40kHz'; results in channels with increasing frequency.
|
|
409
|
-
width=-2; results in channels averaged of 2 data channels incremented from
|
|
410
|
-
high to low channel numbers.

427
|
-
veltype Velocity type (radio, z, ratio, beta, gamma, optical)
|
|
428
|
-
For 'start' and/or 'width' specified in velocity, specifies the velocity definition
|
|
429
|
-
Options: 'radio','optical','z','beta','gamma','optical'
|
|
430
|
-
NOTE: the viewer always defaults to displaying the 'radio' frame,

431
|
-
but that can be changed in the position tracking pull down.
|
|
432
|
-
|
|
433
|
-
The different types (with F = f/f0, the frequency ratio), are:
|
|
434
|
-
|
|
435
|
-
Z = (-1 + 1/F).
|
|
436
|
-
RATIO = (F) \*.
|
|
437
|
-
RADIO = (1 - F).
|
|
438
|
-
OPTICAL == Z.
|
|
439
|
-
BETA = ((1 - F^2)/(1 + F^2)).
|

440
|
-
GAMMA = ((1 + F^2)/2F) \*.
|
|
441
|
-
RELATIVISTIC == BETA (== v/c).
|
|
442
|
-
DEFAULT == RADIO.
|
|
443
|
-
Note that the ones with an '\*' have no real interpretation
|
|
444
|
-
(although the calculation will proceed) if given as a velocity.
|
|
445
|
-
restfreq List of rest frequencies or a rest frequency in a string.
|
|
446
|
-
Specify rest frequency to use for output image.
|
|
447
|
-
|
|
448
|
-
Currently it uses the first rest frequency in the list for translation of
|
|
449
|
-
velocities. The list will be stored in the output images.
|
|
450
|
-
Default: []; look for the rest frequency stored in the MS, if not available,
|
|
451
|
-
use center frequency of the selected channels.
|
|
452
|
-
examples: restfreq=['1.42GHz'].
|
|
453
|
-
restfreq='1.42GHz'.
|
|
454
|
-
interpolation Spectral interpolation (nearest,linear,cubic)
|
|
455
|
-
|
|
456
|
-
Interpolation rules to use when binning data channels onto image channels
|
|
457
|
-
and evaluating visibility values at the centers of image channels.
|
|
458
|
-
|
|
459
|
-
Note : 'linear' and 'cubic' interpolation requires data points on both sides of
|
|
460
|
-
each image frequency. Errors are therefore possible at edge channels, or near
|
|
461
|
-
flagged data channels. When image channel width is much larger than the data
|
|
462
|
-
channel width there is nothing much to be gained using linear or cubic thus
|
|
463
|
-
not worth the extra computation involved.
|
|
464
|
-
perchanweightdensity When calculating weight density for Briggs
|
|
465
|
-
style weighting in a cube, this parameter
|
|
466
|
-
determines whether to calculate the weight
|
|
467
|
-
density for each channel independently
|
|
468
|
-
(the default, True)
|
|
469
|
-
or a common weight density for all of the selected
|
|
470
|
-
data. This parameter has no
|
|
471
|
-
meaning for continuum (specmode='mfs') imaging
|
|
472
|
-
or for natural and radial weighting schemes.
|
|
473
|
-
For cube imaging
|
|
474
|
-
perchanweightdensity=True is a recommended
|
|
475
|
-
option that provides more uniform
|
|
476
|
-
sensitivity per channel for cubes, but with
|
|
477
|
-
generally larger psfs than the
|
|
478
|
-
perchanweightdensity=False (prior behavior)
|
|
479
|
-
option. When using Briggs style weight with
|
|
480
|
-
perchanweightdensity=True, the imaging weight
|
|
481
|
-
density calculations use only the weights of
|
|
482
|
-
data that contribute specifically to that
|
|
483
|
-
channel. On the other hand, when
|
|
484
|
-
perchanweightdensity=False, the imaging
|
|
485
|
-
weight density calculations sum all of the
|
|
486
|
-
weights from all of the data channels
|
|
487
|
-
selected whose (u,v) falls in a given uv cell
|
|
488
|
-
on the weight density grid. Since the
|
|
489
|
-
aggregated weights, in any given uv cell,
|
|
490
|
-
will change depending on the number of
|
|
491
|
-
channels included when imaging, the psf
|
|
492
|
-
calculated for a given frequency channel will
|
|
493
|
-
also necessarily change, resulting in
|
|
494
|
-
variability in the psf for a given frequency
|
|
495
|
-
channel when perchanweightdensity=False. In
|
|
496
|
-
general, perchanweightdensity=False results
|
|
497
|
-
in smaller psfs for the same value of
|
|
498
|
-
robustness compared to
|
|
499
|
-
perchanweightdensity=True, but the rms noise
|
|
500
|
-
as a function of channel varies and increases
|
|
501
|
-
toward the edge channels;
|
|
502
|
-
perchanweightdensity=True provides more
|
|
503
|
-
uniform sensitivity per channel for
|
|
504
|
-
cubes. This may make it harder to find
|
|
505
|
-
estimates of continuum when
|
|
506
|
-
perchanweightdensity=False. If you intend to
|
|
507
|
-
image a large cube in many smaller subcubes
|
|
508
|
-
and subsequently concatenate, it is advisable
|
|
509
|
-
to use perchanweightdensity=True to avoid
|
|
510
|
-
surprisingly varying sensitivity and psfs
|
|

Several wide-field effects can be accounted for via careful choices of

For squint correction the value passed in computepastep has to be smaller than 180.

e.g., PB every 5 degrees, over the range of parallactic angle covered by the data, will be calculated

636
|
-
------ Notes on PB models :
|
|
637
|
-
|
|
638
|
-
(1) Several different sources of PB models are used in the modes
|
|
639
|
-
listed above. This is partly for reasons of algorithmic flexibility
|
|
640
|
-
and partly due to the current lack of a common beam model
|
|
641
|
-
repository or consensus on what beam models are most appropriate.
|
|
642
|
-
|
|
643
|
-
(2) For ALMA and gridder='mosaic', ray-traced (TICRA) beams
|
|
644
|
-
are also available via the vpmanager tool.
|
|
645
|
-
For example, call the following before the tclean run.
|
|
646
|
-
vp.setpbimage(telescope="ALMA",
|
|
647
|
-
compleximage='/home/casa/data/trunk/alma/responses/ALMA_0_DV__0_0_360_0_45_90_348.5_373_373_GHz_ticra2007_VP.im',
|
|
648
|
-
antnames=['DV'+'%02d'%k for k in range(25)])
|
|
649
|
-
vp.saveastable('mypb.tab')
|
|
650
|
-
Then, supply vptable='mypb.tab' to tclean.
|
|
651
|
-
( Currently this will work only for non-parallel runs )
|
|
652
|
-
|
|
653
|
-
|
|
654
|
-
------ Note on PB masks :
|
|
655
|
-
|
|
656
|
-
In tclean, A-Projection gridders (mosaic, awproject, and awp2) produce a
|
|
657
|
-
.pb image and use the 'pblimit' subparameter to decide normalization
|
|
658
|
-
cutoffs and construct an internal T/F mask in the .pb and .image images.
|
|
659
|
-
However, this T/F mask cannot directly be used during deconvolution
|
|
660
|
-
(which needs a 1/0 mask). There are two options for making a pb based
|
|
661
|
-
deconvolution mask.
|
|
662
|
-
-- Run tclean with niter=0 to produce the .pb, construct a 1/0 image
|
|
663
|
-
with the desired threshold (using ia.open('newmask.im');
|
|
664
|
-
ia.calc('iif("xxx.pb">0.3,1.0,0.0)');ia.close() for example),
|
|
665
|
-
and supply it via the 'mask' parameter in a subsequent run
|
|
666
|
-
(with calcres=F and calcpsf=F to restart directly from the minor cycle).
|
|
667
|
-
-- Run tclean with usemask='pb' for it to automatically construct
|
|
668
|
-
a 1/0 mask from the internal T/F mask from .pb at a fixed 0.2 threshold.
|
|
669
|
-
|

|
-
|
|
671
|
-
----- Making PBs for gridders other than mosaic, awproject, awp2
|
|
672
|
-
|
|
673
|
-
After the PSF generation, a PB is constructed using the same
|
|
674
|
-
models used in gridder='mosaic' but just evaluated in the image
|
|
675
|
-
domain without consideration to weights.
|
|
676
|
-
facets Number of facets on a side
|
|
677
|
-
|
|
678
|
-
A set of (facets x facets) subregions of the specified image
|
|
679
|
-
are gridded separately using their respective phase centers
|
|
680
|
-
(to minimize max W). Deconvolution is done on the joint
|
|
681
|
-
full size image, using a PSF from the first subregion/facet.
|
|
682
|
-
|
|
683
|
-
In our current version of tclean, facets>1 may be used only
|
|
684
|
-
with parallel=False.
|
|
685
|
-
psfphasecenter For mosaic use psf centered on this
|
|
686
|
-
optional direction. You may need to use
|
|
687
|
-
this if for example the mosaic does not
|
|
688
|
-
have any pointing in the center of the
|
|
689
|
-
image. Another reason; as the psf is
|
|
690
|
-
approximate for a mosaic, this may help
|
|
691
|
-
to deconvolve a non central bright source
|
|
692
|
-
well and quickly.
|
|
693
|
-
|
|
694
|
-
example:
|
|
695
|
-
|
|
696
|
-
psfphasecenter='6' #center psf on field 6.
|
|
697
|
-
psfphasecenter='J2000 19h30m00 -40d00m00'.
|
|
698
|
-
psfphasecenter='J2000 292.5deg -40.0deg'.
|
|
699
|
-
psfphasecenter='J2000 5.105rad -0.698rad'.
|
|
700
|
-
psfphasecenter='ICRS 13:05:27.2780 -049.28.04.458'.
|
|
701
|
-
wprojplanes Number of distinct w-values at which to compute and use different
|
|
702
|
-
gridding convolution functions for W-Projection
|
|
703
|
-
|
|
704
|
-
An appropriate value of wprojplanes depends on the presence/absence
|
|
705
|
-
of a bright source far from the phase center, the desired dynamic
|
|
706
|
-
range of an image in the presence of a bright far out source,
|
|
707
|
-
the maximum w-value in the measurements, and the desired trade off
|
|
708
|
-
between accuracy and computing cost.
|
|
709
|
-
|
|
710
|
-
As a (rough) guide, VLA L-Band D-config may require a
|
|
711
|
-
value of 128 for a source 30arcmin away from the phase
|
|
712
|
-
center. A-config may require 1024 or more. To converge to an
|
|
713
|
-
appropriate value, try starting with 128 and then increasing
|
|
714
|
-
it if artifacts persist. W-term artifacts (for the VLA) typically look
|
|
715
|
-
like arc-shaped smears in a synthesis image or a shift in source
|
|
716
|
-
position between images made at different times. These artifacts
|
|
717
|
-
are more pronounced the further the source is from the phase center.
|
|
718
|
-
|
|
719
|
-
There is no harm in simply always choosing a large value (say, 1024)
|
|
720
|
-
but there will be a significant performance cost to doing so, especially
|
|
721
|
-
for gridder='awproject' where it is combined with A-Projection.
|
|
722
|
-
|
|
723
|
-
wprojplanes=-1 is an option for gridder='widefield' or 'wproject'
|
|
724
|
-
in which the number of planes is automatically computed.

742
|

Please see the documentation for the vpmanager for more details on how to
|
|
743
|
-
choose different beam models. Work is in progress to update the defaults
|
|
744
|
-
for EVLA and ALMA.
|
|
745
|
-
|
|
746
|
-
Note : AWProjection currently does not use this mechanism to choose
|

beam models. It instead uses ray-traced beams computed from
|
|
748
|
-
parameterized aperture illumination functions, which are not
|
|
749
|
-
available via the vpmanager. So, gridder='awproject' does not allow

the user to set this parameter.

|
751
|
-
mosweight When doing Brigg's style weighting (including uniform) to perform the weight density calculation for each field indepedently if True. If False the weight density is calculated from the average uv distribution of all the fields.

aterm Use aperture illumination functions during gridding.
|
|
753
|
-
|
|
754
|
-
This parameter turns on the A-term of the AW-Projection gridder.

|
-
|
|
760
|
-
Setting this parameter to true is necessary when aterm is set to
|
|
761
|
-
false. It can be set to false when aterm is set to true, though
|
|
762
|
-
with this setting effects of aliasing may be there in the image,

763
|

particularly near the edges.

780
|
-
instrumental spectral structure from the measured data and leave only the
|
|
781
|

sky spectrum for the minor cycle to model and reconstruct [Bhatnagar et al., ApJ, 2013].
|
|
782

|
|
783
|
-
As a rough guideline for when this is relevant, a source at the half power
|
|
784
|
-
point of the PB at the center frequency will see an artificial spectral
|
|
785
|
-
index of -1.4 due to the frequency dependence of the PB [Sault and Wieringa, 1994].
|
|
786
|
-
If left uncorrected during gridding, this spectral structure must be modeled
|
|
787
|
-
in the minor cycle (using the mtmfs algorithm) to avoid dynamic range limits
|
|
788
|
-
(of a few hundred for a 2:1 bandwidth).
|
|
789
|
-
This works for specmode='mfs' and its value is ignored for cubes.
|
|
790
|
-
cfcache Convolution function cache directory name.
|
|
791
|
-
|
|
792
|
-
Name of a directory in which to store gridding convolution functions.
|
|
793
|
-
This cache is filled at the beginning of an imaging run. This step can be time
|
|
794
|
-
consuming but the cache can be reused across multiple imaging runs that
|
|
795
|
-
use the same image parameters (cell size, image size , spectral data
|
|
796
|
-
selections, wprojplanes, wbawp, psterm, aterm). The effect of the wbawp,
|
|
797
|
-
psterm and aterm settings is frozen-in in the cfcache. Using an existing cfcache
|
|
798
|
-
made with a different setting of these parameters will not reflect the current
|
|
799
|
-
settings.
|
|
800
|
-
|
|
801
|
-
In a parallel execution, the construction of the cfcache is also parallelized
|
|
802
|
-
and the time to compute scales close to linearly with the number of compute
|
|
803
|
-
cores used. With the re-computation of Convolution Functions (CF) due to PA
|
|
804
|
-
rotation turned-off (the computepastep parameter), the total number of in the
|
|
805
|
-
cfcache can be computed as [No. of wprojplanes x No. of selected spectral windows x 4]
|
|
806
|
-
|
|
807
|
-
By default, cfcache = imagename + '.cf'
|

808
|
-
usepointing The usepointing flag informs the gridder that it should utilize the pointing table
|
|
809
|
-
to use the correct direction in which the antenna is pointing with respect to the pointing phasecenter.

|
810
|
-
computepastep Parallactic angle interval after the AIFs are recomputed (deg).
|
|
811
|
-
|
|
812
|
-
This parameter controls the accuracy of the aperture illumination function
|
|
813
|
-
used with AProjection for alt-az mount dishes where the AIF rotates on the
|
|
814
|
-
sky as the synthesis image is built up. Once the PA in the data changes by
|
|
815
|
-
the given interval, AIFs are re-computed at the new PA.
|
|
816
|
-
|
|
817
|
-
A value of 360.0 deg (the default) implies no re-computation due to PA rotation.
|
|
818
|
-
AIFs are computed for the PA value of the first valid data received and used for
|
|
819
|
-
all of the data.
|
|
820
|
-
|
|
821
|
-
For gridder=awp2 a value of 180.0 deg or larger implies no squint correction will be
|
|

|
-
attempted i.e an average beam of the left hand and right hand polarization will be calculated
|
|
823
|
-
rotatepastep Parallactic angle interval after which the nearest AIF is rotated (deg)
|
|
824
|
-
|
|
825
|
-
Instead of recomputing the AIF for every timestep's parallactic angle,
|
|
826
|
-
the nearest existing AIF is used and rotated
|
|
827
|
-
after the PA changed by rotatepastep value.
|
|
828
|
-
|
|
829
|
-
A value of 360.0 deg (the default) disables rotation of the AIF.
|
|
830
|
-
|
|
831
|
-
For example, computepastep=360.0 and rotatepastep=5.0 will compute
|
|
832
|
-
the AIFs at only the starting parallactic angle and all other timesteps will
|
|
833
|
-
use a rotated version of that AIF at the nearest 5.0 degree point.

pointingoffsetsigdev Corrections for heterogenous and time-dependent pointing
|
|
835
|
-
offsets via AWProjection are controlled by this parameter.
|
|
836
|
-
It is a vector of 2 ints or doubles each of which is interpreted
|
|
837
|
-
in units of arcsec. Based on the first threshold, a clustering
|
|
838
|
-
algorithm is applied to entries from the POINTING subtable
|
|
839
|
-
of the MS to determine how distinct antenna groups for which
|
|
840
|
-
the pointing offset must be computed separately. The second
|
|
841
|
-
number controls how much a pointing change across time can
|
|
842
|
-
be ignored and after which an antenna rebinning is required.
|
|
843
|
-
|
|
844
|
-
|
|
845
|
-
Note : The default value of this parameter is [], due a programmatic constraint.
|
|
846
|
-
If run with this value, it will internally pick [600,600] and exercise the
|
|
847
|
-
option of using large tolerances (10arcmin) on both axes. Please choose
|
|
848
|
-
a setting explicitly for runs that need to use this parameter.
|
|
849
|
-
|
|
850
|
-
Note : This option is available only for gridder='awproject' and usepointing=True and
|
|
851
|
-
and has been validated primarily with VLASS on-the-fly mosaic data
|
|
852
|
-
where POINTING subtables have been modified after the data are recorded.

Examples of parameter usage :
|
|
856
|
-
|
|
857
|
-
[100.0,100.0] : Pointing offsets of 100 arcsec or less are considered
|
|
858
|
-
small enough to be ignored. Using large values for both
|
|
859
|
-
indicates a homogeneous array.
|
|
860
|
-
|
|
861
|
-
|
|
862
|
-
[10.0, 100.0] : Based on entries in the POINTING subtable, antennas
|
|
863
|
-
are grouped into clusters based on a 10arcsec bin size.
|
|
864
|
-
All antennas in a bin are given a pointing offset calculated
|
|
865
|
-
as the average of the offsets of all antennas in the bin.
|
|
866
|
-
On the time axis, offset changes upto 100 arcsec will be ignored.
|
|
867
|
-
|
|
868
|
-
[10.0,10.0] : Calculate separate pointing offsets for each antenna group
|
|
869
|
-
(with a 10 arcsec bin size). As a function of time, recalculate
|
|
870
|
-
the antenna binning if the POINTING table entries change by
|
|
871
|
-
more than 10 arcsec w.r.to the previously computed binning.
|
|
872
|
-
|
|
873
|
-
[1.0, 1.0] : Tight tolerances will imply a fully heterogenous situation where
|
|
874
|
-
each antenna gets its own pointing offset. Also, time-dependent
|
|
875
|
-
offset changes greater than 1 arcsec will trigger recomputes of
|
|
876
|
-
the phase gradients. This is the most general situation and is also
|
|
877
|
-
the most expensive option as it constructs and uses separate
|
|
878
|
-
phase gradients for all baselines and timesteps.
|
|
879
|
-
|
|
880
|
-
For VLASS 1.1 data with two kinds of pointing offsets, the recommended
|
|
881
|
-
setting is [ 30.0, 30.0 ].
|
|
882
|
-
|
|
883
|
-
For VLASS 1.2 data with only the time-dependent pointing offsets, the
|
|
884
|
-
recommended setting is [ 300.0, 30.0 ] to turn off the antenna grouping
|
|
885
|
-
but to retain the time dependent corrections required from one timestep
|
|
886
|
-
to the next.
|
|
887
|
-
pblimit PB gain level at which to cut off normalizations.
|
|
888
|
-
|
|
889
|
-
Divisions by .pb during normalizations have a cut off at a .pb gain
|
|
890
|
-
level given by pblimit. Outside this limit, image values are set to zero.
|
|
891
|
-
Additionally, by default, an internal T/F mask is applied to the .pb, .image and
|
|
892
|
-
.residual images to mask out (T) all invalid pixels outside the pblimit area.
|
|
893
|
-
|
|
894
|
-
Note : This internal T/F mask cannot be used as a deconvolution mask.
|
|
895
|
-
To do so, please follow the steps listed above in the Notes for the
|
|
896
|
-
'gridder' parameter.
|
|
897
|
-
|
|
898
|
-
Note : To prevent the internal T/F mask from appearing in anything other
|
|
899
|
-
than the .pb and .image.pbcor images, 'pblimit' can be set to a
|
|
900
|
-
negative number.
|
|
901
|
-
The absolute value will still be used as a valid 'pblimit' for normalization
|
|
902
|
-
purposes. So, for example, pick pblimit=-0.1 (and not pblimit=-1).
|
|
903
|
-
A tclean restart using existing output images on disk that already
|
|
904
|
-
have this T/F mask in the .residual and .image but only pblimit set
|
|
905
|
-
to a negative value, will remove this mask after the next major cycle.
|
|
906
|
-
|
|
907
|
-
Note : An existing internal T/F mask may be removed from an image as
|
|
908
|
-
follows (without needing to re-run tclean itself).
|
|
909
|
-
ia.open('test.image');

normtype Normalization type (flatnoise, flatsky, pbsquare).
|
|
913
|
-
|
|
914
|
-
Gridded (and FT'd) images represent the PB-weighted sky image.
|
|
915
|
-
Qualitatively it can be approximated as two instances of the PB
|
|
916
|
-
applied to the sky image (one naturally present in the data
|
|
917
|
-
and one introduced during gridding via the convolution functions).

-
normtype='flatnoise' : Divide the raw image by sqrt(.weight) so that
|
|
923
|
-
the input to the minor cycle represents the
|
|
924
|
-
product of the sky and PB. The noise is 'flat'
|
|
925
|
-
across the region covered by each PB.
|
|
926
|
-
|
|
927
|
-
normtype='flatsky' : Divide the raw image by .weight so that the input
|
|
928
|
-
to the minor cycle represents only the sky.
|
|
929
|
-
The noise is higher in the outer regions of the
|
|
930
|
-
primary beam where the sensitivity is low.
|
|
931
|
-
|
|
932
|
-
normtype='pbsquare' : No normalization after gridding and FFT.

of dominant features in the image being reconstructed.

The smallest scale size is recommended to be 0 (point source),

the second being the size of the synthesized beam and the third being 3-5

which a dynamic range of greater than few 100 is desired.

Spectral artifacts for the VLA often look like spokes radiating out from
|
|
1047
|
-
a bright source (i.e. in the image made with standard mfs imaging).
|
|
1048
|
-
If increasing the number of terms does not eliminate these artifacts,
|
|
1049
|
-
check the data for inadequate bandpass calibration. If the source is away
|
|
1050
|
-
from the pointing center, consider including wide-field corrections too.

'error' on tt1 and tt0 are simply the values picked from
|
|
1064
|
-
the corresponding residual images. The absolute value

smallscalebias A numerical control to bias the scales when using multi-scale or mtmfs algorithms.
|
|
1068
|
-
The peak from each scale's smoothed residual is
|
|
1069
|
-
multiplied by ( 1 - smallscalebias \* scale/maxscale )
|
|
1070
|
-
to increase or decrease the amplitude relative to other scales,
|
|
1071
|
-
before the scale with the largest peak is chosen.
|
|
1072
|
-
Smallscalebias can be varied between -1.0 and 1.0.
|
|
1073
|
-
A score of 0.0 gives all scales equal weight (default).
|
|
1074
|
-
A score larger than 0.0 will bias the solution towards smaller scales.
|
|
1075
|
-
A score smaller than 0.0 will bias the solution towards larger scales.
|
|
1076
|
-
The effect of smallscalebias is more pronounced when using multi-scale relative to mtmfs.

This is a subparameter of the Asp Clean deconvolver. When peak residual

is lower than the threshold, Asp Clean is "switched to Hogbom Clean" (i.e. only use the 0 scale for cleaning) for

The default initial scale sizes used by Asp Clean is [0, w, 2w, 4w, 8w],
|
|
1099
|
-
where `w` is the PSF width. The default `largestscale` is -1 which indicates
|
|
1100
|
-
users accept these initial scales. If `largestscale` is set, the initial scales
|
|
1101
|
-
would be [0, w, ... up to the `largestscale`]. This is only an initial guess,
|
|
1102
|
-
and actual fitted scale sizes may evolve from these initial values.
|
|
1103
|
-
|
|
1104

It is recommended not to set `largestscale` unless Asp Clean picks a large

see the inline help for the 'vptable' parameter ). Alternatively, task impbcor can be used for primary beam correction using the .image and .pb files.
|
|
1145
|
-

For all gridders, this calculation is accurate for small fractional bandwidths.
|
|
1148
|

For large fractional bandwidths, please use one of the following options.
|
|
1150
|
-
|
|
1151
|
-
(a) For single pointings, run the tclean task with specmode='mfs', deconvolver='mtmfs',
|
|
1152
|
-
and gridder='standard' with pbcor=True or False.
|
|
1153
|
-
If a PB-corrected spectral index is required,
|
|
1154
|
-
please use the widebandpbcor task to apply multi-tern PB-correction.
|
|
1155
|
-
|
|
1156
|
-
(b) For mosaics, run tclean task with specmode='mfs', deconvolver='mtmfs',
|
|
1157
|
-
and gridder='awproject' , wbawp=True, conjbeams=True, with pbcor=True.
|
|
1158
|
-
This option applies wideband PB correction as part of the gridding step and
|
|
1159
|
-
pbcor=True will be accurate because the spectral index map will already
|
|
1160
|
-
be PB-corrected.
|
|
1161
|
-
|
|
1162
|
-
(c) For mosaics, run tclean with specmode='mvc', deconvolver='mtmfs',
|
|
1163
|
-
and gridder='mosaic' or 'awp2' with pbcor=True.
|
|
1164
|
-
This option applies wideband PB-correction to channelized residual images
|
|
1165
|
-
prior to the minor cycle and pbcor=True will be accurate because the spectral
|
|
1166
|
-
index map will already be PB-corrected.
|
|
1167
|
-
|
|
1168
|
-
Note : Frequency-dependent PB corrections are typically required for full-band imaging with the VLA.
|
|
1169
|
-
Wideband PB corrections are required when the amplitude of the
|
|
1170
|
-
brightest source is known accurately enough to be sensitive
|
|
1171
|
-
to the difference in the PB gain between the upper and lower
|
|
1172
|
-
end of the band at its location. As a guideline, the artificial spectral
|
|
1173
|
-
index due to the PB is -1.4 at the 0.5 gain level and less than -0.2

|

for different image fields, for example, are supported.
|
|
1209
|
-
'deconvolver' and 'gridder' are also options that allow different

imaging or deconvolution algorithm per image field.
|

1213

-
on the main field and mtmfs with nterms=3 and wprojection
|
|
1214
|
-
with 64 planes on a bright outlier source for which the frequency
|
|
1215
|
-
dependence of the primary beam produces a strong effect that
|
|
1216
|
-
must be modeled. The traditional alternative to this approach is
|
|
1217
|
-
to first image the outlier, subtract it out of the data (uvsub) and
|
|
1218
|
-
then image the main field.

weighting Weighting scheme (natural,uniform,briggs,superuniform,radial, briggsabs, briggsbwtaper).
|
|
1220
|
-
|
|
1221
|
-
During gridding of the dirty or residual image, each visibility value is
|
|
1222
|
-
multiplied by a weight before it is accumulated on the uv-grid.
|
|
1223
|
-
The PSF's uv-grid is generated by gridding only the weights (weightgrid).
|
|
1224
|
-
|
|
1225
|
-
weighting='natural' : Gridding weights are identical to the data weights
|
|
1226
|
-
from the MS. For visibilities with similar data weights,
|
|
1227
|
-
the weightgrid will follow the sample density
|
|
1228
|
-
pattern on the uv-plane. This weighting scheme
|
|
1229
|
-
provides the maximum imaging sensitivity at the
|
|
1230
|
-
expense of a PSF with possibly wider main lobes and high sidelobes.
|
|
1231
|
-
It is most appropriate for detection experiments
|
|
1232
|
-
where sensitivity is most important.
|
|
1233
|
-
|
|
1234
|
-
weighting='uniform' : Gridding weights per visibility data point are the
|
|
1235
|
-
original data weights divided by the total weight of
|
|
1236
|
-
all data points that map to the same uv grid cell :
|
|
1237
|
-
' data_weight / total_wt_per_cell '.
|
|
1238
|
-
|
|
1239
|
-
The weightgrid is as close to flat as possible resulting
|
|
1240
|
-
in a PSF with a narrow main lobe and suppressed
|
|
1241
|
-
sidelobes. However, since heavily sampled areas of
|
|
1242
|
-
the uv-plane get down-weighted, the imaging
|
|
1243
|
-
sensitivity is not as high as with natural weighting.
|
|
1244
|
-
It is most appropriate for imaging experiments where
|
|
1245
|
-
a well behaved PSF can help the reconstruction.
|
|
1246
|
-
|
|
1247
|
-
weighting='briggs' : Gridding weights per visibility data point are given by
|
|
1248
|
-
'data_weight / ( A \* total_wt_per_cell + B ) ' where
|
|
1249
|
-
A and B vary according to the 'robust' parameter.
|
|
1250
|
-
|
|
1251
|
-
robust = -2.0 maps to A=1,B=0 or uniform weighting.
|
|
1252
|
-
robust = +2.0 maps to natural weighting.
|
|
1253
|
-
(robust=0.5 is equivalent to robust=0.0 in AIPS IMAGR.)
|
|
1254
|
-
|
|
1255
|
-
Robust/Briggs weighting generates a PSF that can
|
|
1256
|
-
vary smoothly between 'natural' and 'uniform' and
|
|
1257
|
-
allow customized trade-offs between PSF shape and
|
|
1258
|
-
imaging sensitivity.
|
|
1259
|
-
weighting='briggsabs' : Experimental option.
|
|
1260
|
-
Same as Briggs except the formula is different A=
|
|
1261
|
-
robust\*robust and B is dependent on the
|
|
1262
|
-
noise per visibility estimated. Giving noise='0Jy'
|
|
1263
|
-
is a not a reasonable option.
|
|
1264
|
-
In this mode (or formula) robust values
|
|
1265
|
-
from -2.0 to 0.0 only make sense (2.0 and
|
|
1266
|
-
-2.0 will get the same weighting)
|
|
1267
|
-
|
|
1268
|
-
weighting='superuniform' : This is similar to uniform weighting except that
|
|
1269
|
-
the total_wt_per_cell is replaced by the
|
|
1270
|
-
total_wt_within_NxN_cells around the uv cell of
|
|
1271
|
-
interest. N=7 is the default (when the
|
|
1272
|
-
parameter 'npixels' is set to 0 with 'superuniform')
|
|
1273
|
-
|
|
1274
|
-
This method tends to give a PSF with inner
|
|
1275
|
-
sidelobes that are suppressed as in uniform
|
|
1276
|
-
weighting but with far-out sidelobes closer to
|
|
1277
|
-
natural weighting. The peak sensitivity is also
|
|
1278
|
-
closer to natural weighting.
|
|
1279
|
-
|
|
1280
|
-
weighting='radial' : Gridding weights are given by ' data_weight \* uvdistance '
|
|
1281
|
-
This method approximately minimizes rms sidelobes
|
|
1282
|
-
for an east-west synthesis array.

weighting='briggsbwtaper' : A modified version of Briggs weighting for cubes where an inverse uv taper,
|
|
1285
|
-
which is proportional to the fractional bandwidth of the entire cube,
|
|
1286
|
-
is applied per channel. The objective is to modify cube (perchanweightdensity = True)
|
|
1287
|
-
imaging weights to have a similar density to that of the continuum imaging weights.
|
|
1288

This is currently an experimental weighting scheme being developed for ALMA.

npixels Number of pixels to determine uv-cell size for super-uniform weighting

npixels -- uv-box used for weight calculation
|
|
1302
|
-
a box going from -npixel/2 to +npixel/2 on each side
|
|
1303
|
-
around a point is used to calculate weight density.
|
|
1304
|
-
|
|
1305
|
-
npixels=2 goes from -1 to +1 and covers 3 pixels on a side.
|
|
1306
|
-
|
|
1307
|
-
npixels=0 implies a single pixel, which does not make sense for
|
|
1308
|
-
superuniform weighting. Therefore, for 'superuniform'
|
|
1309
|
-
weighting, if npixels=0 it will be forced to 6 (or a box
|
|
1310
|
-
of -3pixels to +3pixels) to cover 7 pixels on a side.
|
|
1311
|
-
uvtaper uv-taper on outer baselines in uv-plane.
|
|
1312
|
-
|
|
1313
|
-
Apply a Gaussian taper in addition to the weighting scheme specified
|
|
1314
|
-
via the 'weighting' parameter. Higher spatial frequencies are weighted
|
|
1315
|
-
down relative to lower spatial frequencies to suppress artifacts
|
|
1316
|
-
arising from poorly sampled areas of the uv-plane. It is equivalent to
|
|
1317
|
-
smoothing the PSF obtained by other weighting schemes and can be
|
|
1318
|
-
specified either as the HWHM of a Gaussian in uv-space (eg. units of lambda)
|
|
1319
|
-
or as the FWHM of a Gaussian in the image domain (eg. angular units like arcsec).

uvtaper = [bmaj, bmin, bpa].

A FWHM_lm of 100.000 arcsec maps to a HWHM_uv of 910.18 lambda.
|
|
1326

uvtaper=['10arcsec'] : image domain FWHM.
|
|
1333
|

1334
|
-
niter Maximum number of iterations.
|
|
1335
|
-
|
|
1336
|
-
A stopping criterion based on total iteration count.
|
|
1337
|
-
Currently the parameter type is defined as an integer therefore the integer value
|
|
1338
|
-
larger than 2147483647 will not be set properly as it causes an overflow.
|
|
1339
|
-
|
|
1340
|
-
Iterations are typically defined as the selecting one flux component
|
|
1341
|
-
and partially subtracting it out from the residual image.
|
|
1342
|
-
|
|
1343
|
-
niter=0 : Do only the initial major cycle (make dirty image, psf, pb, etc).
|
|
1344
|
-
|
|
1345
|
-
niter larger than zero : Run major and minor cycles.
|
|
1346
|
-
|
|
1347
|
-
Note : Global stopping criteria vs major-cycle triggers.
|
|
1348
|
-
|
|
1349
|
-
In addition to global stopping criteria, the following rules are
|
|
1350
|
-
used to determine when to terminate a set of minor cycle iterations
|
|
1351
|
-
and trigger major cycles [derived from Cotton-Schwab Clean, 1984].
|
|
1352
|
-
|
|
1353
|
-
'cycleniter' : controls the maximum number of iterations per image
|
|
1354
|
-
plane before triggering a major cycle.
|
|
1355
|
-
'cyclethreshold' : Automatically computed threshold related to the
|
|
1356
|
-
max sidelobe level of the PSF and peak residual.
|
|
1357
|
-
Divergence, detected as an increase of 10% in peak residual from the
|
|
1358
|
-
minimum so far (during minor cycle iterations).
|
|
1359
|
-
|
|
1360
|
-
The first criterion to be satisfied takes precedence.
|
|
1361
|
-
|
|
1362
|
-
Note : Iteration counts for cubes or multi-field images :
|
|
1363
|
-
For images with multiple planes (or image fields) on which the
|
|
1364
|
-
deconvolver operates in sequence, iterations are counted across
|
|
1365
|
-
all planes (or image fields). The iteration count is compared with
|
|
1366
|
-
'niter' only after all channels/planes/fields have completed their
|
|
1367
|
-
minor cycles and exited either due to 'cycleniter' or 'cyclethreshold'.
|
|
1368
|
-
Therefore, the actual number of iterations reported in the logger
|
|
1369
|
-
can sometimes be larger than the user specified value in 'niter'.
|
|
1370
|
-
For example, with niter=100, cycleniter=20,nchan=10,threshold=0,
|
|
1371
|
-
a total of 200 iterations will be done in the first set of minor cycles
|
|
1372
|
-
before the total is compared with niter=100 and it exits.
|
|
1373
|
-
|
|
1374
|
-
Note : Additional global stopping criteria include:
|
|
1375
|
-
- no change in peak residual across two major cycles.
|
|
1376
|
-
- a 50% or more increase in peak residual across one major cycle.
|
|
1377
|
-
gain Loop gain.
|
|
1378
|
-
|
|
1379
|
-
Fraction of the source flux to subtract out of the residual image
|
|
1380
|
-
for the CLEAN algorithm and its variants.
|
|
1381
|
-
|
|
1382
|
-
A low value (0.2 or less) is recommended when the sky brightness
|
|
1383
|
-
distribution is not well represented by the basis functions used by
|
|
1384
|
-
the chosen deconvolution algorithm. A higher value can be tried when
|
|
1385
|
-
there is a good match between the true sky brightness structure and
|
|
1386
|
-
the basis function shapes. For example, for extended emission,
|
|
1387
|
-
multiscale clean with an appropriate set of scale sizes will tolerate
|
|
1388
|
-
a higher loop gain than Clark clean.
|
|
1389
|
-
threshold Stopping threshold (number in units of Jy, or string).
|
|
1390
|
-
|
|
1391
|
-
A global stopping threshold that the peak residual (within clean mask)
|
|
1392
|
-
across all image planes is compared to.
|
|
1393
|
-
|
|
1394
|
-
threshold = 0.005 : 5mJy
|
|
1395
|
-
threshold = '5.0mJy'
|
|
1396
|
-
|
|
1397
|
-
Note : A 'cyclethreshold' is internally computed and used as a major cycle
|
|
1398
|
-
trigger. It is related to what fraction of the PSF can be reliably
|
|
1399
|
-
used during minor cycle updates of the residual image. By default
|
|
1400
|
-
the minor cycle iterations terminate once the peak residual reaches
|
|
1401
|
-
the first sidelobe level of the brightest source.
|
|
1402
|
-
|
|
1403
|
-
'cyclethreshold' is computed as follows using the settings in
|
|
1404
|
-
parameters 'cyclefactor','minpsffraction','maxpsffraction','threshold' :
|
|
1405
|
-
|
|
1406
|
-
psf_fraction = max_psf_sidelobe_level \* 'cyclefactor'
|
|
1407
|
-
psf_fraction = max(psf_fraction, 'minpsffraction');
|
|
1408
|
-
psf_fraction = min(psf_fraction, 'maxpsffraction');
|
|
1409
|
-
cyclethreshold = peak_residual \* psf_fraction
|
|
1410
|
-
cyclethreshold = max( cyclethreshold, 'threshold' )
|
|
1411
|
-
|
|
1412
|
-
If nsigma is set (>0.0), the N-sigma threshold is calculated (see
|
|
1413
|
-
the description under nsigma), then cyclethreshold is further modified as,
|
|
1414
|
-
|
|
1415
|
-
cyclethreshold = max( cyclethreshold, nsgima_threshold ).
|
|
1416
|
-
|
|
1417
|
-
|
|
1418
|
-
'cyclethreshold' is made visible and editable only in the
|
|
1419
|
-
interactive GUI when tclean is run with interactive=True.
|
|
1420
|
-
nsigma Multiplicative factor for rms-based threshold stopping.
|
|
1421
|
-
|
|
1422
|
-
N-sigma threshold is calculated as nsigma \* rms value per image plane determined
|
|
1423
|
-
from a robust statistics. For nsigma > 0.0, in a minor cycle, a maximum of the two values,
|
|
1424
|
-
the N-sigma threshold and cyclethreshold, is used to trigger a major cycle
|
|
1425
|
-
(see also the descreption under 'threshold').
|
|
1426
|
-
Set nsigma=0.0 to preserve the previous tclean behavior without this feature.
|
|
1427
|
-
The top level parameter, fastnoise is relevant for the rms noise calculation which is used
|
|
1428
|
-
to determine the threshold.
|
|
1429
|
-
|
|
1430
|
-
The parameter 'nsigma' may be an int, float, or a double.
|
|
1431
|
-
cycleniter Maximum number of minor-cycle iterations (per plane) before triggering
|
|
1432
|
-
a major cycle.
|
|
1433
|
-
|
|
1434
|
-
For example, for a single plane image, if niter=100 and cycleniter=20,
|
|
1435
|
-
there will be 5 major cycles after the initial one (assuming there is no
|
|
1436
|
-
threshold based stopping criterion). At each major cycle boundary, if
|
|
1437
|
-
the number of iterations left over (to reach niter) is less than cycleniter,
|
|
1438
|
-
it is set to the difference.
|
|
1439
|
-
|
|
1440
|
-
Note : cycleniter applies per image plane, even if cycleniter x nplanes
|
|
1441
|
-
gives a total number of iterations greater than 'niter'. This is to
|
|
1442
|
-
preserve consistency across image planes within one set of minor
|
|
1443
|
-
cycle iterations.
|
|
1444
|
-
cyclefactor Scaling on PSF sidelobe level to compute the minor-cycle stopping threshold.
|
|
1445
|
-
|
|
1446
|
-
Please refer to the Note under the documentation for 'threshold' that
|
|
1447
|
-
discussed the calculation of 'cyclethreshold'.
|
|
1448
|
-
|
|
1449
|
-
cyclefactor=1.0 results in a cyclethreshold at the first sidelobe level of
|
|
1450
|
-
the brightest source in the residual image before the minor cycle starts.
|
|
1451
|
-
|
|
1452
|
-
cyclefactor=0.5 allows the minor cycle to go deeper.
|
|
1453
|
-
cyclefactor=2.0 triggers a major cycle sooner.
|
|
1454
|
-
minpsffraction PSF fraction that marks the max depth of cleaning in the minor cycle.
|
|
1455
|
-
|
|
1456
|
-
Please refer to the Note under the documentation for 'threshold' that
|
|
1457
|
-
discussed the calculation of 'cyclethreshold'.
|
|
1458
|
-
|
|
1459
|
-
For example, minpsffraction=0.5 will stop cleaning at half the height of
|
|
1460
|
-
the peak residual and trigger a major cycle earlier.
|
|
1461
|
-
maxpsffraction PSF fraction that marks the minimum depth of cleaning in the minor cycle.
|
|
1462
|
-
|
|
1463
|
-
Please refer to the Note under the documentation for 'threshold' that
|
|
1464
|
-
discussed the calculation of 'cyclethreshold'.
|
|
1465
|
-
|
|
1466
|
-
For example, maxpsffraction=0.8 will ensure that at least the top 20
|
|
1467
|
-
percent of the source will be subtracted out in the minor cycle even if
|
|
1468
|
-
the first PSF sidelobe is at the 0.9 level (an extreme example), or if the
|
|
1469
|
-
cyclefactor is set too high for anything to get cleaned.
|
|
1470
|
-
nmajor The nmajor parameter limits the number of minor and major cycle sets
|
|
1471
|
-
that tclean executes. It is defined as the number of major cycles after the
|
|
1472
|
-
initial set of minor cycle iterations. In other words, the count of nmajor does
|
|
1473
|
-
not include the initial residual calculation that occurs when calcres=True.
|
|
1474
|
-
|
|
1475
|
-
A setting of nmajor=-1 implies no limit (default -1).
|
|
1476
|
-
A setting of nmajor=0 implies nothing other than the initial residual calculation
|
|
1477
|
-
A setting of nmajor>0 imples that nmajor sets of minor and major cycles will
|
|
1478
|
-
be done in addition to the initial residual calculation.
|
|
1479
|
-
|
|
1480
|
-
If the major cycle limit is reached, stopcode 9 will be returned. Other stopping
|
|
1481
|
-
criteria (such as threshold) could cause tclean to stop in fewer than this
|
|
1482
|
-
number of major cycles. If tclean reaches another stopping criteria, first
|
|
1483
|
-
or at the same time as nmajor, then that stopcode will be returned instead.
|
|
1484
|
-
|
|
1485
|
-
Note however that major cycle ids in the log messages as well as in the return
|
|
1486
|
-
dictionary do begin with 1 for the initial residual calculation, when it exists.
|
|
1487
|
-
|
|
1488
|
-
Example 1 : A tclean run with 'nmajor=5' and 'calcres=True' will iterate for
|
|
1489
|
-
5 major cycles (not counting the initial residual calculation). But, the return
|
|
1490
|
-
dictionary will show 'nmajordone:6'. If 'calcres=False', then the return
|
|
1491
|
-
dictionary will show 'nmajordone:5'.
|
|
1492
|
-
|
|
1493
|
-
Example 2 : For both the following cases, there will be a printout in the logs
|
|
1494
|
-
"Running Major Cycle 1" and the return value will include "nmajordone: 1",
|
|
1495
|
-
however there is a difference in the purpose of the major cycle and the
|
|
1496
|
-
number of minor cycles executed:
|
|
1497
|
-
Case 1; nmajor=0, calcres=True: The major cycle done is for the creation
|
|
1498
|
-
of the residual, and no minor cycles are executed.
|
|
1499
|
-
Case 2; nmajor=1, calcres=False: The major cycle is done as part of the
|
|
1500
|
-
major/minor cycle loop, and 1 minor cycle will be executed.
|
|
1501
|
-
usemask Type of mask(s) to be used for deconvolution.
|
|
1502
|

|
-
Additional top level parameter relevant to auto-multithresh: fastnoise.
|
|
1520
|
-
|
|
1521
|
-
if pbmask is >0.0, the region outside the specified pb gain level is excluded from

|
|
1527
|
-
Note: By default the intermediate mask generated by automask at each deconvolution cycle
|
|
1528
|
-
is over-written in the next cycle but one can save them by setting
|
|
1529
|

1530
|
-
(e.g. in the CASA prompt, os.environ['SAVE_ALL_AUTOMASKS']="true" )
|
|
1531
|
-
The saved CASA mask image name will be imagename.mask.autothresh#, where

mask Mask (a list of image name(s) or region file(s) or region string(s).
|

1536
|
-
The name of a CASA image or region file or region string that specifies
|

1537
|
-
a 1/0 mask to be used for deconvolution. Only locations with value 1 will
|
|
1538
|
-
be considered for the centers of flux components in the minor cycle.
|

Manual mask options/examples :
|
|
1542

|
1543
|
-
mask='xxx.mask' : Use this CASA image named xxx.mask and containing
|
|
1544
|
-
ones and zeros as the mask.
|
|
1545
|
-
If the mask is only different in spatial coordinates from what is being made
|
|
1546
|
-
it will be resampled to the target coordinate system before being used.
|
|
1547
|
-
The mask has to have the same shape in velocity and Stokes planes
|
|
1548
|
-
as the output image. Exceptions are single velocity and/or single
|
|
1549
|
-
Stokes plane masks. They will be expanded to cover all velocity and/or

1550
|
-
Stokes planes of the output cube.

Note : Mask images for deconvolution must contain 1 or 0 in each pixel.
|
|
1574
|
-
Such a mask is different from an internal T/F mask that can be
|
|
1575
|
-
held within each CASA image. These two types of masks are not
|
|
1576
|
-
automatically interchangeable, so please use the makemask task
|
|
1577
|
-
to copy between them if you need to construct a 1/0 based mask
|
|
1578
|
-
from a T/F one.

|
-
|

enable more controls.
|
|
1582
|
-
pbmask Sub-parameter for usemask: primary beam mask.
|
|
1583
|
-
|
|
1584
|
-
Examples : pbmask=0.0 (default, no pb mask).
|
|
1585
|
-
pbmask=0.2 (construct a mask at the 0.2 pb gain level).
|
|
1586
|
-
sidelobethreshold Sub-parameter for "auto-multithresh": mask threshold based on sidelobe levels: sidelobethreshold \* max_sidelobe_level \* peak residual.
|
|
1587
|
-
noisethreshold Sub-parameter for "auto-multithresh": mask threshold based on the noise level: noisethreshold \* rms + location (=median).
|
|
1588
|
-
|
|
1589
|
-
The rms is calculated from the median absolute deviation (MAD), with rms = 1.4826\*MAD.
|
|
1590
|
-
lownoisethreshold Sub-parameter for "auto-multithresh": mask threshold to grow previously masked regions via binary dilation: lownoisethreshold \* rms in residual image + location (=median).
|
|
1591
|
-
|
|
1592
|
-
The rms is calculated from the median absolute deviation (MAD), with rms = 1.4826\*MAD.
|
|
1593
|
-
negativethreshold Sub-parameter for "auto-multithresh": mask threshold for negative features: -1.0* negativethreshold \* rms + location(=median).
|
|
1594
|
-
|
|
1595
|
-
The rms is calculated from the median absolute deviation (MAD), with rms = 1.4826\*MAD.
|
|
1596
|
-
smoothfactor Sub-parameter for "auto-multithresh": smoothing factor in a unit of the beam.
|
|
1597
|
-
minbeamfrac Sub-parameter for "auto-multithresh": minimum beam fraction in size to prune masks smaller than mimbeamfrac \* beam
|
|
1598
|
-
<=0.0 : No pruning
|
|
1599
|
-
cutthreshold Sub-parameter for "auto-multithresh": threshold to cut the smoothed mask to create a final mask: cutthreshold \* peak of the smoothed mask.
|
|
1600
|
-
growiterations Sub-parameter for "auto-multithresh": Maximum number of iterations to perform using binary dilation for growing the mask.
|
|
1601
|
-
dogrowprune Experimental sub-parameter for "auto-multithresh": Do pruning on the grow mask.
|
|
1602
|
-
minpercentchange If the change in the mask size in a particular channel is less than minpercentchange, stop masking that channel in subsequent cycles. This check is only applied when noise based threshold is used and when the previous clean major cycle had a cyclethreshold value equal to the clean threshold. Values equal to -1.0 (or any value less than 0.0) will turn off this check (the default). Automask will still stop masking if the current channel mask is an empty mask and the noise threshold was used to determine the mask.
|
|
1603
|
-
verbose he summary of automasking at the end of each automasking process
|
|
1604
|
-
is printed in the logger. Following information per channel will be listed in the summary.
|
|
1605
|
-
|
|
1606
|
-
chan: channel number.
|
|
1607
|
-
masking?: F - stop updating automask for the subsequent iteration cycles.
|
|
1608
|
-
RMS: robust rms noise.
|
|
1609
|
-
peak: peak in residual image.
|
|
1610
|
-
thresh_type: type of threshold used (noise or sidelobe).
|
|
1611
|
-
thresh_value: the value of threshold used.
|
|
1612
|
-
N_reg: number of the automask regions.
|
|
1613
|
-
N_pruned: number of the automask regions removed by pruning.
|
|
1614
|
-
N_grow: number of the grow mask regions.
|
|
1615
|
-
N_grow_pruned: number of the grow mask regions removed by pruning.
|
|
1616
|
-
N_neg_pix: number of pixels for negative mask regions.
|
|
1617
|
-
|
|
1618
|
-
Note that for a large cube, extra logging may slow down the process.
|
|
1619
|
-
fastnoise Only relevant when automask (user='multi-autothresh') and/or n-sigma stopping threshold (nsigma>0.0) are/is used. If it is set to True, a simpler but faster noise calucation is used.
|
|
1620
|
-
In this case, the threshold values are determined based on classic statistics (using all
|
|
1621
|
-
unmasked pixels for the calculations).
|
|
1622
|
-
|
|
1623
|
-
If it is set to False, the new noise calculation
|
|
1624
|
-
method is used based on pre-existing mask.
|
|
1625
|
-
|
|
1626
|
-
Case 1: no exiting mask.
|
|
1627
|
-
Calculate image statistics using Chauvenet algorithm.
|
|
1628
|
-
|
|
1629
|
-
Case 2: there is an existing mask.
|
|
1630
|
-
Calculate image statistics by classical method on the region
|
|
1631
|
-
outside the mask and inside the primary beam mask.
|
|
1632
|
-
|
|
1633
|
-
In all cases above RMS noise is calculated from the median absolute deviation (MAD).
|
|
1634
|
-
restart images (and start from an existing model image)
|
|
1635
|
-
or automatically increment the image name and make a new image set.
|
|
1636
|
-
|
|
1637
|
-
True : Re-use existing images. If imagename.model exists the subsequent
|
|
1638
|
-
run will start from this model (i.e. predicting it using current gridder
|
|
1639
|
-
settings and starting from the residual image). Care must be taken
|
|
1640
|
-
when combining this option with startmodel. Currently, only one or
|
|
1641
|
-
the other can be used.
|
|
1642
|
-
|
|
1643
|
-
startmodel='', imagename.model exists :
|
|
1644
|
-
- Start from imagename.model.
|
|
1645
|
-
startmodel='xxx', imagename.model does not exist :
|
|
1646
|
-
- Start from startmodel.
|
|
1647
|
-
startmodel='xxx', imagename.model exists :
|
|
1648
|
-
- Exit with an error message requesting the user to pick
|
|
1649
|
-
only one model. This situation can arise when doing one
|
|
1650
|
-
run with startmodel='xxx' to produce an output
|
|
1651
|
-
imagename.model that includes the content of startmodel,
|
|
1652
|
-
and wanting to restart a second run to continue deconvolution.
|
|
1653
|
-
Startmodel should be set to '' before continuing.
|
|
1654
|
-
|
|
1655
|
-
If any change in the shape or coordinate system of the image is
|
|
1656
|
-
desired during the restart, please change the image name and
|
|
1657
|
-
use the startmodel (and mask) parameter(s) so that the old model
|
|
1658
|
-
(and mask) can be regridded to the new coordinate system before starting.
|
|
1659
|
-
|
|
1660
|
-
False : A convenience feature to increment imagename with '_1', '_2',
|
|
1661
|
-
etc as suffixes so that all runs of tclean are fresh starts (without
|
|
1662
|
-
having to change the imagename parameter or delete images).
|
|
1663
|
-
|
|
1664
|
-
This mode will search the current directory for all existing
|
|
1665
|
-
imagename extensions, pick the maximum, and adds 1.
|
|
1666
|
-
For imagename='try' it will make try.psf, try_2.psf, try_3.psf, etc.
|
|
1667
|
-
|
|
1668
|
-
This also works if you specify a directory name in the path :
|
|
1669
|
-
imagename='outdir/try'. If './outdir' does not exist, it will create it.
|
|
1670
|
-
Then it will search for existing filenames inside that directory.
|
|
1671
|
-
|
|
1672
|
-
If outlier fields are specified, the incrementing happens for each
|
|
1673
|
-
of them (since each has its own 'imagename'). The counters are
|
|
1674
|
-
synchronized across imagefields, to make it easier to match up sets
|
|
1675
|
-
of output images. It adds 1 to the 'max id' from all outlier names
|
|
1676
|
-
on disk. So, if you do two runs with only the main field
|
|
1677
|
-
(imagename='try'), and in the third run you add an outlier with
|
|
1678
|
-
imagename='outtry', you will get the following image names
|
|
1679
|
-
for the third run : 'try_3' and 'outtry_3' even though
|
|
1680
|
-
'outry' and 'outtry_2' have not been used.
|
|
1681
|
-
savemodel Options to save model visibilities (none, virtual, modelcolumn).
|
|
1682
|
-
|
|
1683
|
-
Often, model visibilities must be created and saved in the MS
|
|
1684
|
-
to be later used for self-calibration (or to just plot and view them).
|
|
1685
|
-
|
|
1686
|
-
none : Do not save any model visibilities in the MS. The MS is opened
|
|
1687
|
-
in readonly mode.
|
|
1688
|
-
|
|
1689
|
-
Model visibilities can be predicted in a separate step by
|
|
1690
|
-
restarting tclean with niter=0,savemodel=virtual or modelcolumn
|
|
1691
|
-
and not changing any image names so that it finds the .model on
|
|
1692
|
-
disk (or by changing imagename and setting startmodel to the
|
|
1693
|
-
original imagename).
|
|
1694
|
-
|
|
1695
|
-
virtual : In the last major cycle, save the image model and state of the
|
|
1696
|
-
gridder used during imaging within the SOURCE subtable of the
|
|
1697
|
-
MS. Images required for de-gridding will also be stored internally.
|
|
1698
|
-
All future references to model visibilities will activate the
|
|
1699
|
-
(de)gridder to compute them on-the-fly. This mode is useful
|
|
1700
|
-
when the dataset is large enough that an additional model data
|
|
1701
|
-
column on disk may be too much extra disk I/O, when the
|
|
1702
|
-
gridder is simple enough that on-the-fly recomputing of the
|
|
1703
|
-
model visibilities is quicker than disk I/O.
|
|
1704
|
-
For e.g. that gridder='awproject' and 'awp2' does not support virtual model.
|
|
1705
|
-
|
|
1706
|
-
modelcolumn : In the last major cycle, save predicted model visibilities
|
|
1707
|
-
in the MODEL_DATA column of the MS. This mode is useful when
|
|
1708
|
-
the de-gridding cost to produce the model visibilities is higher
|
|
1709
|
-
than the I/O required to read the model visibilities from disk.
|
|
1710
|
-
This mode is currently required for gridder='awproject' and 'awp2'.
|
|
1711
|
-
This mode is also required for the ability to later pull out
|
|
1712
|
-
model visibilities from the MS into a python array for custom
|
|
1713
|
-
processing.
|
|
1714
|
-
|
|
1715
|
-
Note 1 : The imagename.model image on disk will always be constructed
|
|
1716
|
-
if the minor cycle runs. This savemodel parameter applies only to
|
|
1717
|
-
model visibilities created by de-gridding the model image.
|
|
1718
|
-
|
|
1719
|
-
Note 2 : It is possible for an MS to have both a virtual model
|
|
1720
|
-
as well as a model_data column, but under normal operation,
|
|
1721
|
-
the last used mode will get triggered. Use the delmod task to
|
|
1722
|
-
clear out existing models from an MS if confusion arises.
|
|
1723
|
-
Note 3: when parallel=True, use savemodel='none'; Other options are not yet ready
|
|
1724
|
-
for use in parallel. If model visibilities need to be saved (virtual or modelcolumn):
|
|
1725
|
-
please run tclean in serial mode with niter=0; after the parallel run
|
|
1726
|
-
calcres Calculate initial residual image.
|
|
1727
|
-
|
|
1728
|
-
This parameter controls what the first major cycle does.
|
|
1729
|
-
|
|
1730
|
-
calcres=False with niter greater than 0 will assume that
|
|
1731
|
-
a .residual image already exists and that the minor cycle can
|
|
1732
|
-
begin without recomputing it.
|
|
1733
|
-
|
|
1734
|
-
calcres=False with niter=0 implies that only the PSF will be made
|
|
1735
|
-
and no data will be gridded.
|
|
1736
|
-
|
|
1737
|
-
calcres=True requires that calcpsf=True or that the .psf and .sumwt
|
|
1738
|
-
images already exist on disk (for normalization purposes).
|
|
1739
|
-
|
|
1740
|
-
Usage example : For large runs (or a pipeline scripts) it may be
|
|
1741
|
-
useful to first run tclean with niter=0 to create
|
|
1742
|
-
an initial .residual to look at and perhaps make
|
|
1743
|
-
a custom mask for. Imaging can be resumed
|
|
1744
|
-
without recomputing it.
|
|
1745
|
-
calcpsf Calculate PSF
|
|
1746
|
-
|
|
1747
|
-
This parameter controls what the first major cycle does.
|
|
1748
|
-
|
|
1749
|
-
calcpsf=False will assume that a .psf image already exists
|
|
1750
|
-
and that the minor cycle can begin without recomputing it.
|
|
1751
|
-
psfcutoff When the .psf image is created a 2 dimensional Gaussian is fit to the main lobe of the PSF.
|
|
1752
|
-
Which pixels in the PSF are fitted is determined by psfcutoff.
|
|
1753
|
-
The default value of psfcutoff is 0.35 and can varied from 0.01 to 0.99.
|
|
1754
|
-
Fitting algorithm:
|
|
1755
|
-
- A region of 41 x 41 pixels around the peak of the PSF is compared against the psfcutoff.
|
|
1756
|
-
Sidelobes are ignored by radially searching from the PSF peak.
|
|
1757
|
-
- Calculate the bottom left corner (blc) and top right corner (trc) from the points. Expand blc and trc with a number of pixels (5).
|
|
1758
|
-
- Create a new sub-matrix from blc and trc.
|
|
1759
|
-
- Interpolate matrix to a target number of points (3001) using CUBIC spline.
|
|
1760
|
-
- All the non-sidelobe points, in the interpolated matrix, that are above the psfcutoff are used to fit a Gaussian.
|
|
1761
|
-
A Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used.
|
|
1762
|
-
- If the fitting fails the algorithm is repeated with the psfcutoff decreased (psfcutoff=psfcutoff/1.5).
|
|
1763
|
-
A message in the log will apear if the fitting fails along with the new value of psfcutoff.
|
|
1764
|
-
This will be done up to 50 times if fitting fails.
|
|
1765
|
-
This Gaussian beam is defined by a major axis, minor axis, and position angle.
|
|
1766
|
-
During the restoration process, this Gaussian beam is used as the Clean beam.
|
|
1767
|
-
Varying psfcutoff might be useful for producing a better fit for highly non-Gaussian PSFs, however, the resulting fits should be carefully checked.
|
|
1768
|
-
This parameter should rarely be changed.
|
|
1769
|
-
|
|
1770
|
-
(This is not the support size for clark clean.)
|
|
1771
|
-
parallel Run major cycles in parallel.
|
|
1772
|
-
|
|
1773
|
-
Parallel tclean will run only if casa has already been started using mpirun.
|

Continuum Imaging :
|
|
1779
|
-
- Data are partitioned (in time) into NProc pieces.
|
|
1780
|
-
- Gridding/iFT is done separately per partition.
|
|
1781
|
-
- Images (and weights) are gathered and then normalized.
|
|
1782
|
-
- One non-parallel minor cycle is run.
|
|
1783
|
-
- Model image is scattered to all processes.
|
|
1784
|
-
- Major cycle is done in parallel per partition.
|
|
1785
|
-
|
|
1786
|
-
Cube Imaging :
|
|
1787
|
-
- Data and Image coordinates are partitioned (in freq) into NProc pieces.
|
|
1788
|
-
- Each partition is processed independently (major and minor cycles).
|
|
1789
|
-
- All processes are synchronized at major cycle boundaries for convergence checks.
|
|
1790
|
-
- At the end, cubes from all partitions are concatenated along the spectral axis.
|
|
1791
|
-
|
|
1792
|
-
Note 1 : Iteration control for cube imaging is independent per partition.
|
|
1793
|
-
- There is currently no communication between them to synchronize
|
|
1794
|
-
information such as peak residual and cyclethreshold. Therefore,
|
|
1795
|
-
different chunks may trigger major cycles at different levels.
|
|
1796
|
-
(Proper synchronization of iteration control is work in progress.)
