deflectionDifferential
Return to directory of Todd's tools
Computes the differential
deflection due to solar gravity for two fields in a measurement set.
Usage:
tt.deflectionDifferential(vis, field1, field2, exaggerate=10, sunsize=20)
Inputs
- vis: measurement set
- field1: field ID or field name of first field
- field2: field ID or field name of second field
- exaggerate: the factor by which to lengthen the deflection vector (beyond the default factor of 3600*1000
- sunsize: the size of the star symbol marking the Sun
Example:
Here is an example for the August 23, 2015 test dataset.
CASA <2>: tt.deflectionDifferential('uid___A002_Xa8ac7f_X71.ms',0,1)
Deflection of field 0 = J0954+1743 = 0.065 (-0.031E,+0.057N) at PA=-28.3 due to solar distance = 7.17 deg
Deflection of field 1 = J0931+1414 = 0.048 (-0.046E,+0.014N) at PA=-73.0 due to solar distance = 9.66 deg
Differential deflection = J0954+1743 - J0931+1414 = 0.017 (+0.015E,+0.043N)
