Return to Analysis Utilities

This page documents the planetPlots function of Python module analysisUtils.

By calling predictcomp, this function will create uv amplitude vs. uvdistance visibility plots for a specified date for the specified objects, frequencies and ALMA configurations. 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, showbl0flux=True, keepcl=False)

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']
showbl0flux: True/False, list the zero-baseline flux density in the legend
keepcl: True/False, keep or remove the component lists generated by predictcomp

See setjy for a list of bodies.
