Return to Analysis Utilities

This page documents the planetPlots function of Python module analysisUtils.

This function will create uv amplitude vs. uvdistance visibility plots for the specified objects, date, frequencies and ALMA configurations using predictcomp. The output is a multipage collection of a grid of plots, one page per object, where rows are configurations and columns are frequencies.


Usage

au.planetPlots(objects='Venus,Ceres,Vesta,Pallas,Juno,Jupiter,Callisto,Europa,Ganymede,Io,Titan,Uranus,Neptune', 
               date='2013-01-01', freqs = [100,230,345,690], standard = 'Butler-JPL-Horizons 2012', 
               alma_cycle=1,configs=None)

objects: comma-delimited string of planetary bodies 
date: observing date, all plots are a 1-second snapshot at transit 
freqs: a list of frequencies, in GHz
standard: the model in casa to use
alma_cycle: 0 or 1 (will automatically fill in the configs offered)
configs: alternative to alma_cycle, specify a list of configurations, such as: ['alma_cycle1_1.cfg','alma_cycle1_2.cfg']

See setjy for a list of bodies.
