hif_uvcontfit —- Fit the continuum in the UV plane

This task estimates the continuum emission by fitting polynomials to the real and imaginary parts of the spectral windows and channels selected by spw and exclude spw. This fit represents a model of the continuum in all channels. Fit orders less than 2 are strongly recommended. Spw window combination is not currently supported.

——— parameter descriptions ———————————————

vis The list of input MeasurementSets. Defaults to the list of

MeasurementSets specified in the h_init or hif_importdata task. ‘’: use all MeasurementSets in the context Examples: ‘ngc5921.ms’, [‘ngc5921a.ms’, ngc5921b.ms’, ‘ngc5921c.ms’]

caltable The list of output Mueller matrix calibration tables one per

input MS. ‘’: The output names default to the standard pipeline name

scheme

contfile Name of the input file of per source / spw continuum regions

‘’: Defaults first to the file named in the context, next to a

file called ‘cont.dat’ in the pipeline working directory.

field The list of field names or field ids for which UV continuum

fits are computed. Defaults to all fields. Eexamples: ‘3C279’, ‘3C279, M82’

intent A string containing a comma delimited list of intents against

which the selected fields are matched. ‘’: Defaults to all data with TARGET intent.

spw The list of spectral windows and channels for which uv

continuum fits are computed. ‘’, Defaults to all science spectral windows. Example: ‘11,13,15,17’

combine Data axes to be combined for solving. Axes are ‘scan’, ‘spw’,

or ‘’. This option is currently not supported.

solint Time scale for the continuum fit fitorder Polynomial order for the continuum fits pipelinemode The pipeline operating mode.

In ‘automatic’ mode the pipeline determines the values of all context defined pipeline inputs automatically. In ‘interactive’ mode the user can set the pipeline context defined parameters manually. In ‘getinputs’ mode the user can check the settings of all pipeline parameters without running the task.

dryrun Run the task (False) or just display the command (True) acceptresults Add the results of the task to the pipeline context (True) or

reject them (False).
