#+ # Name: # dimmconfig_bright_compact.lis # Purpose: # A MAKEMAP configuration suitable for bright isolated compact sources. # Description: # This file provides values for parameters used by the SMURF:MAKEMAP # command to control the details of the map-making algorithm. To # use it, assign it to the CONFIG parameter on the command line when # running MAKEMAP. For instance: # # % makemap config=^/star/share/smurf/dimmconfig_bright_compact.lis # # (substitute the path to your Starlink installation in place of # "/star"). # # The strategy provided by this configuration is aimed at short scans # of calibrators (which may be quite bright). We constrain the map # using ast.zero_circle=(0.01666), which sets all pixels beyond 60 # arcsec to zero until the last iteration. A word of warning: if # the source is near the edge of the map (or has an extent larger than # the size of this mask) this configuration may give odd results due # to the value of ast.zero_lowhits! If you suspect a problem, compare # the location of the source with the zero-masked pixels (see QUALITY # component of the resulting map). If the mask overlaps with the source, # try modifying the radius. # Notes: # - This file inherits the parameter values defined in hidden file # /star/share/smurf/.dimmconfig_bright.lis (note the dot at the start # of the file name). # - For a full list of all available parameters, and their purposes, # see the file $SMURF_DIR/smurf_makemap.def. All available parameters # are also documented in SUN/258, appendix "Configuration Parameters". # - A single parameter can be given different values to use when # processing 450 or 850 um data. This is done by including the # parameter twice, prefixing the parameter name with "450." and "850." # Authors: # HP: Harriet Parsons (JAC, Hawaii) # DSB: David Berry (JAC, Hawaii) # History: # 12-FEB-2013 (HP): # General tidy. # 12-FEB-2013 (DSB): # Use a standard prologue format.
