SOURCE
OBS\SOURCE Name [Coordinates ...] /TYPE
OBJECT|PHASE|BAND [/VELOCITY Vtype [Vvalue]] [/FLUX Fvalue]
Selects a source of the specified type: OBJECT for sources to
study, PHASE for Phase calibrator, BAND for Bandpass calibrator. The
SOURCE catalog is searched for OBJECT type sources, while the PHASE
catalog is searched for PHASE and BAND sources. Source coordinates may
be in the command line, in the same format as the source catalog, i.e.
NAME Syst [Epoch] Lambda Beta Vtype [Velo] [FLUX Value]
W3OH EQ 1950.0 02:23:16.50 61:38:57.0 LSR -45.0 FLUX 3.73
Where
Syst is the coordinate system (EQ, HO, GA) and Epoch its optional
epoch.
Lambda and Beta are the coordinates (in hours and degrees for EQ
coordinates, in degrees only for HO and GA coordinates).
Vtype is the reference frame (LSR, EARTH, HELIO, or NULL which
means no Doppler tracking) and Velo the velocity in km/s.
FLUX is a keyword indicating a value for the continuum flux (in Jy)
at 3mm.
The /TYPE option is compulsory, and indicates in wich catalog the
source should be searched. PHASE and BAND sources have a velocity type
NULL to avoid changing the observing frequency between the source and
the calibrator.
The /VELOCITY Vtype Vvalue and /FLUX Fvalue options can be used to
override the velocity or flux specified in the catalog.
