getRADecStringForField

Return to directory of Todd's CASA extensions

Returns the RA/Dec sexagesimal string for the specified field in the specified ms. If run in casa >= 4.2.0, it will use ms.getfielddirmeas(), instead of reading the DELAY_DIR field of the ms directly See also getRADecForField to get the value in radians.

Usage:

au.getRADecStringForField(vis, myfieldId, usemstool=False, forcePositiveRA=False)
  • myfieldId can be an integer or string integer

Example:

CASA <2>: au.getRADecStringForField('uid___A002_X6e23cb_X1c19.ms',0)
12:56:11.16656, -005:47:21.524580
  Out[2]: '12:56:11.16656, -005:47:21.524580'
