Eric,
I am trying to use JMFIT on some 610 MHz GMRT data. By the way,
Leonia's modification of UVAVG works wonderfully and makes an
amazing improvement on the image.
Anyway, I wanted to make the primary beam correction, so I entered
the PBPARM's from their webpage. The actual values are
AIPS 2: PBPARM 0.05 1 Primary beam parameters:
AIPS 2: -3.486 47.749 (1) level to believe - <= 0
AIPS 2: -35.203 10.399 means do not apply a primary
AIPS 2: 0 beam (2) > 0 use (3)-(7)
This all may have worked fine. However, I get a message in the
output about having used a VLA antenna for GMRT. Is this
just misleading or did something fail ?
Hope you are doing OK.
best wishes,
Frazer
JMFIT2: Component 1-Gaussian
JMFIT2: Peak intensity = 6.2472E-04 +/- 3.89E-05 JY/BEAM
JMFIT2: PBCALC: VLA ANTENNA USED FOR ARRAY GMRT
JMFIT2: Corrected peak int= 6.3425E-04 +/- 3.95E-05 JY/BEAM
JMFIT2: Integral intensity= 7.2196E-04 +/- 7.42E-05 JANSKYS
JMFIT2: Corrected flux = 7.3297E-04 +/- 7.53E-05 JANSKYS
