So I am trying to get a Chandra FITS file loaded into AIPS (FITLD), so I
can align
it with the radio images.
Here is the error:
URSA > FITLD1: Task FITLD (release of 31DEC03) begins
URSA > FITLD1: FITS file of wrong type encountered, skipping
URSA > FITLD1: CHNDAT:COULD NOT FIND FREQ AXIS
URSA > FITLD1: FRQFID: ERROR 1 FROM CHNDAT OPCODE = READ
URSA > FITLD1: ERROR 1 RETURNED FROM FRQFID
URSA > FITLD1: Purports to die of UNNATURAL causes
URSA > FITLD1: ursa 31DEC03 TST: Cpu= 0.0 Real= 0
Here are my inputs:
AIPS 1: FITLD: Task to store an image or UV data from a FITS tape

AIPS 1: OUTCLASS 'XRAY ' File name (class)
AIPS 1: OUTSEQ 0 File name (seq. #)
AIPS 1: 0 => highest unique number

AIPS 1: OUTDISK 1 Disk drive # (0 => any)
AIPS 1: OPTYPE 'IM ' Type of data to load,

AIPS 1: 'IM' => images
AIPS 1: NCOUNT 1 Number of files to load.
AIPS 1: DOTABLE 1 True (1.0) means load tables
AIPS 1: for images.
AIPS 1: DOUVCOMP -1 >0 => compressed data (FITS)
AIPS 1: DOCONCAT -1 >0 -> if VLBA or uv table,
AIPS 1: append data to existing
AIPS 1: files, or if no appropriate
AIPS 1: files exist create a new file
AIPS 1: and append all data to that
AIPS 1: file.

AIPS 1: SEE HELP for more details
AIPS 1: SELBAND -1 Bandwidth to select (kHz)

AIPS 1: See HELP.
AIPS 1: FQTOL -1 Frequency tolerance assigned
AIPS 1: to SELFREQ, FITLD will select
AIPS 1: data with freq. of SELFREQ
AIPS 1: +/- FQTOL.
AIPS 1: The unit of FQTOL is kHz.
AIPS 1: <=0 => 10 kHz
AIPS 1: WTTHRESH 0 Flagging threshold based on
AIPS 1: weights. See HELP.
AIPS 1: 0 => no flagging

AIPS 1: OPCODE ' ' Specify if wish to keep VT

AIPS 1: NCOUNT = 1)
Does AIPS even allow users to load it in?
