beamSolidAngle
Return to directory of Todd's CASA extensions
Converts a Gaussian beam FWHM from arcsec into equivalent solid angle in steradians using the formula: pi*(theta**2)/(4ln(2))
Usage:
au.beamSolidAngle(major, minor=None)
Inputs:
major: beam major axis in arcsec
minor: beam minor axis in arcsec (if different from major axis)
Example:
CASA <4>: au.beamSolidAngle(1.0) Out[4]: 2.6632636032938279e-11
