MOSAIC_CLEAN
MOSAIC_CLEAN
This task contains implementations of several CLEAN-like
deconvolution algorithm working on MOSAICs. The algorithm is selected
through the METHOD$ keyword, which can be :
SIMPLE : The straightforward direct method.
CLARK : The Barry Clark major-minor cycle method.
The input map and beam should have the same sizes, except for the
SIMPLE method where different beam sizes are allowed, and must have the
same grid spacing. Sources are searched only in the inner quarter of
the map, but their sidelobes are removed in the full map. A smaller
search box can be specified if desired.
The program can process all planes of a data cube at the same time, but
a separate list of component will be produced for each plane. The
cleaning cannot be restarted.
This task uses several input maps:
.BEAM A combination of the synthesized beams for all fields
in order (nx,ny,fields)
.PRIMARY A combination of the primary beams for all fields,
in order (fields,nx,ny)
.LMV The dirty mosaic, in order (nx,ny,nv)
all produced by task MOSAIC from the individual fields.
It produces a number of output maps
.LMV-MOS A cleaned, primary-beam corrected, image
.LMV-RES A residual image, without primary beam correction
.CCT A clean component table
