EVLA Tutorials
- Carbon Star IRC+10216: high frequency (36GHz), spectral line data reduction IRC+10216 Part 1: editing, calibration Part 2: continuum subtraction, imaging, selfcal (Dataset size: 1.1GB)
Calibrate and make image cubes of the line emission from this asymptotic giant branch star. This is a high-frequency EVLA dataset. Includes:
- Inspecting data; basic flagging & calibration
- Subtracting continuum emission
- Imaging the spectral lines
- Imaging the continuum
- Image analysis
- Self-calibration
- 6cm Continuum Mosaic of the Supernova Remnant 3C391 (Polarimetry)
- Basic Data Calibration and Imaging: EVLA Continuum Tutorial 3C391

EVLA Tutorials for more Advanced Users
- EVLA: SN2010FZ -- Wide-band, narrow-field imaging; C-band (5-7 GHz) (Dataset size: 2.9GB)
Calibrate and image a galaxy field for this mid-frequency EVLA observation. This includes:
- Excising RFI from the data
- Basic flagging and calibration steps
- Imaging from one spectral window to full dataset
- Using multi-scale, multi-frequency synthesis
- Image analysis
This low-frequency EVLA tutorial for the observation of a supernova remnant focuses on RFI excision as well as imaging wide-field and wide-fractional-bandwidth data. This includes:
- Basic flagging and evaluation
- Different methods for automatic RFI excision
- Calibrating the data
- Exploring different imaging options: widefield, multi-scale, and multi-frequency synthesis
Specific Topics
- CASA: Writing a CASA task
Presents the basics of writing a CASA task, and provides examples of tasks that will be helpful and instructive.
