estimateSynthesizedBeamFromASDM
Return to directory of Todd's CASA extensions
Estimates the synthesized beam FWHM from the max baseline length and
representative frequency in an ASDM (using
representativeFrequencyFromASDM,
getBaselineStatsFromASDM, and
printBaselineAngularScale). See also
estimateSynthesizedBeam for a method that operates on a measurement set.
Usage:
au.estimateSynthesizedBeamFromASDM(asdm, useL80method=True, verbose=False)
Inputs:
- useL80method: if True, use .574lambda/L80 (i.e. Eq 7.4 of Cycle 4 Technical handbook); if False, then use the max baseline
Returns:
Example:
CASA <40>: au.estimateSynthesizedBeamFromASDM('rawdata/uid___A002_Xa2ce2e_X7bd',verbose=True)
minAcceptableResolution = 0.148976 arcsec"
maxAcceptableResolution = 0.182082 arcsec"
representative frequency = 455.436592 GHz
80 percentile baseline length is 381.193427 m
Out[40]: 0.20444872381753434
