| | |
| == Splitting off the calibrated data (Pipeline Calibration) ==
| |
| If your measurement set (ms) is pipeline calibrated, use this step to split off the calibrated data. After restoring the calibration using scriptForPI.py, you should have *.ms files which contain the calibrated data in the CORRECTED column. If you already have files with the name *.ms.split.cal, you can proceed to the next step.
| |
| This block of code will split off the science spws for the calibrators and science target.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| import glob
| |
| | |
| vislist = glob.glob('*[!_t].ms') # match full ms, not target.ms
| |
| | |
| for myvis in vislist:
| |
| | |
| msmd.open(myvis)
| |
| targetspws = msmd.spwsforintent('OBSERVE_TARGET*')
| |
| sciencespws = []
| |
| for myspw in targetspws:
| |
| if msmd.nchan(myspw)>4:
| |
| sciencespws.append(myspw)
| |
| sciencespws = ','.join(map(str,sciencespws))
| |
| msmd.close()
| |
|
| |
| split(vis=myvis,outputvis=myvis+'.split.cal',spw=sciencespws)
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| == Get a list of ms files to image ==
| |
| | |
| You should now have *.ms.split.cal files for each execution no matter how your dataset was calibrated. Run the following commands to grab the names of all files in the directory that have the extension ‘.ms.split.cal’ and place them into a list so you can easily check the calibration and concatenate the data further on in the script.
| |
| | |

| |
| Once the list of ms files have been collected, review the calibration to make sure it appears reasonable. A summary of the calibration are in the qa directory of your delivered package.
| |
| If the dataset was pipeline calibrated, download and untar the pipeline weblog in the qa directory by using

| |
| The standard opening page has three main sections: observation overview, pipeline summary, and observation summary. This is shown in Figure 1.
| |
| | |
| From the opening page, you can navigate to view the calibration '''By Topic''' and '''By Task''' and open observation specific information by clicking on the ms name.
| |
| Figure 2 shows an example of an ms summary page.
| |
| | |
| Figure 3 shows the '''By Task''' view. Each task can be opened to view important calibration plots, tables, and flagging statistics.
| |
| | |
| If the data was manually calibrated, you can review the calibration with the *.png and *.txt files in the qa directory. These display helpful plots and statistics about the calibration.
| |
| | |
| In addition, the tasks {{plotms}} and {{plotcal}} are useful if you need to explore the data beyond the plots that the calibration pipeline or QA2 process generates. The [https://casaguides.nrao.edu/index.php/TWHydraBand7_Calibration_4.3 TW Hydra guide] gives some nice examples showing how to use these tasks.
| |
| | |
| == Flag bad data (optional) ==
| |
| | |
| This section uses plotms to manually review the uvwave vs amp and channel vs amp plots of all field and spectral windows in the MS file. Outliers seen in the calibrator fields of these plots can be flagged either in the flagdata() command below or interactively within the GUI of plotms().
| |
| | |
| Save the original flags of each ms prior to flagging any additional data. Without this step, it will be very difficult if you need to remove flags generated later on.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| for vis in vislist:
| |
| flagmanager(vis=vis,
| |
| mode='save',
| |
| versionname='original_flags')
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| The {{Plotms}} task can be used to find bad data by iterating through fields and spws for the *.ms.split.cal files in the calibrated directory. You can also use the GUI interface to iterate through spectral windows (spws).
| |
| Figure 4 shows an example of TW Hydra science spw 2.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| fieldlist = ['3'] # change to list of science data fields to inspect
| |
| spwlist = ['1'] # change to list of science spws to inspect
| |
| | |
| for vis in vislist:
| |
| for field in fieldlist:
| |
| for spw in spwlist:
| |
| plotms(vis=vis,xaxis='uvwave',yaxis='amp',avgtime='3e8',
| |
| field=field,spw=spw)
| |
| raw_input("push enter to continue")
| |
| plotms(vis=vis,xaxis='chan',yaxis='amp',avgtime='3e8',
| |
| field=field,spw=spw)
| |
| raw_input("push enter to continue")
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| | |
| Use {{flagdata}} to flag bad antennas, spws, timeranges, etc. You can use the locate buttons in {{plotms}} and {{plotcal}} to identify what needs to be flagged. Locate will print the information about the selected points into the casalogger. Note that flagging in plotms is generally not recommended because a plotms crash will lose all flagging information.
| |
| | |
| To flag data, modify the {{flagdata}} command with the ms you want to flag and the flagging criteria. Flagging criteria can be any antenna, spw, timerange, etc. Once the data is flagged, check the flagging using plotms. The flagged data points should not appear on the plot. You can also plot the flagged data points using the "display" table on the left hand side of the {{plotms}} GUI.

| == Flux Equalization (optional) ==
| |
| | |
| If you have multiple executions taken at a similar time with the same phase calibrator, you can rescale the derived fluxes for the phase calibrator so that they are the same in all executions. If the executions are spaced by more than a day or two, it is likely that the flux of the phase calibrator has changed and thus this step is usually unnecessary. You can compare the derived flux densities of your calibrators for each execution block using the "hifa_gfluxscale" step of the weblog (pipeline calibrations) or the *.fluxscale file (manual calibration).
| |
| | |
| The following guides may be useful for assessing the derived fluxes of your phase cailbrators. [http://legacy.nrao.edu/alma/memos/html-memos/alma434/memo434vb.pdf ALMA Memo 434] outlines various uncertainties relevant to amplitude calibration. You can refer to the respective cycle’s Proposer’s Guide ([https://almascience.nrao.edu/documents-and-tools/cycle4/alma-proposers-guide Cycle 4]) for expected uncertainties. In addition, the [https://almascience.eso.org/sc/ ALMA Calibrator Source Catalog] can be used to compare variations detected from source monitoring.

| <figure id="Gfluxscale table.png">
| |
| [[File:Gfluxscale_table.png|thumb|Figure 5: An example of the table created by hifa_gfluxscale.]]
| |
| </figure>
| |
| | |
| If you have determined flux equalization is required for your data, please file a [https://help.almascience.org Helpdesk ticket] and a NAASC staff member can assist you by generating a script for your measurement sets. In general, the first step in flux equalization is to set the flux density of the phase calibrator in each spectral window to the desired value using {{setjy}}. Then amplitude calibration tables are generated and applied using {{gaincal}} and {{applycal}} respectively. Finally, all calibrated measurement sets will be concatenated using {{concat}}.
| |
| | |
| If you have performed flux equalization, you can skip to the [[Imaging_Prep#Splitting off science target data | Splitting off science target data]] section below.
| |
| | |
| == Combining measurement sets from multiple executions ==
| |
| | |
| If there are multiple *.ms.split.cal files within the calibrated directory, combine them all into one single ms file in order to make later steps in the imaging process easier. Skip this section if you have only one execution.
| |
| | |
| Each execution of the scheduling block will generate multiple spectral windows with different sky frequencies, but the same rest frequency, due to the motion of the Earth. Thus, the resulting concatenated file will contain n spws, where n is (number of original science spws) x (number of executions). In other words, the multiple spws associated with a single rest frequency will not be regridded to a single spectral window in the ms. Combine all executions into one ms file, called calibrated.ms, using the {{concat}} command.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| concatvis='calibrated.ms'
| |
| | |
| rmtables(concatvis)
| |
| os.system('rm -rf ' + concatvis + '.flagversions')
| |
| concat(vis=vislist,
| |
| #forcesingleephemfield='Uranus', # uncomment this line and insert source name if imaging an ephemeris object
| |
| concatvis=concatvis)
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| == Splitting off science target data ==
| |
| | |
| The calibrated.ms produced in the [[#Combining measurement sets from multiple executions | Combining measurement sets from multiple executions]] section, or your original ms file if you only have one execution, will contain the science target(s) as well as all the calibrator sources. At this point, you are only concerned with imaging your science targets so you can split them off from the calibrated.ms, which has both the science and calibrator sources. This will reduce the size of the file and make it more manageable during imaging. Depending on your project, there may be several executions or only one. Uncomment the line that fits with your data to set the concatvis variable properly.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| # Uncomment following line for single executions
| |
| # concatvis = vislist[0]
| |
| | |
| # Uncomment following line for multiple executions
| |
| # concatvis='calibrated.ms'
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| Split out all target fields from the file and copy them, with only the data column, into a new ms file called calibrated_source.ms. Follow [https://casa.nrao.edu/Release4.1.0/doc/UserMan/UserMansu82.html this link] for more information regarding the structure of measurement sets.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| sourcevis='calibrated_source.ms'
| |
| rmtables(sourcevis)
| |
| os.system('rm -rf ' + sourcevis + '.flagversions')
| |
| split(vis=concatvis,
| |
| intent='*TARGET*', # split off the target sources
| |
| outputvis=sourcevis,
| |
| datacolumn='data')
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| At this point, it is convenient to create a {{listobs}} file with information about the sources and spectral windows to reference during imaging. Inspect the {{listobs}} to make sure the {{split}} and {{concat}} worked as desired.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| listobs(vis=sourcevis,listfile=sourcevis+'.listobs.txt')
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| An example {{listobs}} file is below.

| == Regridding spectral window (optional) ==
| |
| | |
| ALMA does what is called doppler setting, which means it adjusts the observed sky frequency for the motion of the source and the motion of the Earth around the Sun at the beginning of every execution block. Therefore, different execution blocks will have different observed sky frequencies because the vector of the motion of the Earth around the Sun will be different at different times.
| |
| | |
| In general, we strongly recommend using the {{tclean}} command to regrid spectral windows to a common velocity/rest frequency scale on the fly. However, you may also regrid the frequency axis of the visibility data using {{cvel}} prior to imaging. The most common use case for this is where the motion of the Earth around the Sun causes the sky frequencies of the lines to shift too much between executions to identify a common channel range for continuum subtraction. If you regrid using {{cvel}} prior to imaging, you should make sure to use the same input parameters to the {{tclean}} task that you used for {{cvel}}. In other words, you shouldn't regrid the data using both {{cvel}} and {{tclean}}.

| You will likely need to regrid if you are imaging an ephemeris object. In this case, the outframe should be set to SOURCE, for example, outframe = 'SOURCE'.
| |
| | |
| '''Due to a bug in all versions of CASA prior to 5.0, {{mstransform}} and {{cvel}} should not be used to average greater than 2 channels together. This averaging should be done using {{tclean}} if using a CASA version less than 5.0'''
| |
| | |
| We will start by setting the parameters specific to your observations.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| sourcevis='calibrated_source.ms'
| |
| regridvis='calibrated_source_regrid.ms'
| |
| veltype = 'radio' # Keep set to radio. See notes in imaging section.
| |
| width = '0.23km/s' # due to bug in cvel/mstransform, do not regrid > 2 channels
| |
| nchan = -1 # leave this as the default
| |
| mode='velocity' # see science goals in the OT
| |
| start='' # leave this as the default
| |
| outframe = 'bary' # velocity reference frame. see science goals in the OT.
| |
| restfreq='115.27120GHz' # rest frequency of primary line of interest.
| |
| field = '4' # select science fields.
| |
| spw = '0,5,10' # spws associated with a single rest frequency. Do not attempt to combine spectral windows associated with different rest frequencies. This will take a long time to regrid and most likely isn't what you want.
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| Regridding here uses the {{cvel}} command to regrid multiple spws associated with a single rest frequency into a single spw. To avoid {{tclean}} regridding the image a second time you will need to use the same parameters used for {{cvel}} for {{tclean}}.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| rmtables(regridvis)
| |
| os.system('rm -rf ' + regridvis + '.flagversions')
| |
|
| |
| cvel(vis=sourcevis,
| |
| field=field,
| |
| outputvis=regridvis,
| |
| spw=spw,
| |
| mode=mode,
| |
| nchan=nchan,
| |
| width=width,
| |
| start=start,
| |
| restfreq=restfreq,
| |
| outframe=outframe,
| |
| veltype=veltype)
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| The resulting ms will contain a single spw. You should regrid spws at different rest frequencies separately.
| |
| | |
| == Rename and backup data set ==
| |
| | |
| Depending on the different tasks that were performed above, the current measurement set will have a variety of names. For ease of imaging with a common measurement set, rename the file to calibrated_final.ms.
| |
| | |
| If you haven’t regridded, your current ms should be named calibrated_source.ms.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| # uncomment if you haven’t regridded
| |
| # os.system('mv -i ' + sourcevis + ' ' + 'calibrated_final.ms')
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| If you have regridded, your current ms should be named calibrated_source_regrid.ms.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| # uncomment if you have regridded
| |
| # os.system('mv -i ' + regridvis + ' ' + 'calibrated_final.ms')
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| Now that you have a fully calibrated measurement set containing all your science sources to image, we recommend creating a backup of the dataset. It is possible to corrupt a measurement set if you kill {{clean}}, {{tclean}}, or {{uvcontsub}} while they are running.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="python">
| |
| # in CASA
| |
| os.system('cp -ir calibrated_final.ms calibrated_final.ms.backup')
| |
| </source>
