casa学习代码记录

标题

casa是专门用于处理VLA望远镜的集成软件，相应的教程对于干涉阵处理来说可谓是非常详细，甚至对于其他干涉阵的pipline来说，一些参数的意义甚至可以参考回来casa教程的的说明：以下记录一下相关的代码和主要的流程：

ps：很多具体到实际的物理意义我也说不清楚太多东西，以后可能理解深了，会尝试添加一下说明。

这个网址是教程大全，还是要参考着官方的教程来看

https://data.nrao.edu/portal/#/
这里可以下载到开放的数据，选择你需要的项目的数据
下面开始全部流程

查看观测日志

https://www.vla.nrao.edu/cgi-bin/oplogs.cgi
先确定你数据的日期(可以先看（2）确定日期也可以在你下载数据那里点击scan也有一些信息)，然后在这个网站上查询当天本项目望远镜的情况，例如下面写着data lost的那就记得要先flag掉（也有可能在你下载数据之前望远镜已经flag了）

例如这个就写着天线X在XX时间lost，你在后面的操作中就要flag掉这些数据

确定数据的各种信息

先对数据进行解压tar -xvf 文件名，获得.ms文件

msfile = 'spw6.ms'
listobs(vis=msfile)

一共有这些源，前面几个是校准源（建议记住这些源名字，虽然你可以使用filed0，1，2这些编号去索引，但是容易搞混）

G16.7+0.1(targe), J1331+3030, J1407+2827,J1822-0938(phase calibration),0137+331=3C48(flux calibration)

一共15个频率窗口，前面和后面是重复的

选择这个窗口spw6

阵列天线分布图，找到一个最中间作为参考天线,例如e25


plotants(vis=msfile,figfile='plotants_antenna_layout.png')

ea25

本教程只处理一个窗口的数据（当你数据量不大的时候，也可以全部窗口一些处理）

简单看看spw6的10~55通道数据的情况（因为每个spw前后的一些通道总是不太好）

plotms(vis =msfile, xaxis='time',yaxis='amp', correlation='RR,LL',coloraxis='field', avgchannel='64')plotms(vis =msfile, xaxis='channel',yaxis='amp', correlation='RR,LL',coloraxis='field', avgtime='1e8')

感觉这个窗口的数据还可以，先把他分出来成新的文件吧，减少文件的大小

split(vis=msfile,outputvis='XXX_spw6.ms',spw='6:10~55',datacolumn='all')
#这个spw的格式是6窗口的10到55通道
msfile = 'XXX_spw6.ms' #后面就用这个新的.ms文件了

Initi Flag

对数据进行一个基础的flag

flagdata(vis=msfile, mode='quack', quackinterval=5.0, quackmode='beg') 
flagdata(vis=msfile, mode='manual', antenna='ea13')
#flagdata(vis=msfile, mode='manual', scan='1')#分别是对每段时间的起始几秒的数据flag；对观测日志里面不好的数据进行flag；
#对第一个scan数据(从listobs中发现观测时间只有几秒）flag#对校准源的数据做一个更加细致的flag，flag掉那些一眼看上去的坏的数据点，以及标记看起来不好的数据点。通过plotms打开校准源。```python
plotms(vis=msfile,field='',xaxis='chan',yaxis='amp',correlation='RR,LL',avgtime='1e8',spw='', coloraxis='baseline', iteraxis='spw')plotms(vis=msfile,xaxis='time',yaxis='amp',correlation='RR,LL',avgchannel='64', coloraxis='field', iteraxis='spw')

利用下面的工具栏确定异常数据是来源是哪里（eg：天线？scan？时间？）

ps：flag之后的数据以修改的数据的格式存放在一个flag文件里面，每次做了flag或者校准命令都会保存，但是不显示具体实现了什么操作，你可以通过以下两个例子来给你当前flag状态的保存或者回溯到上一个flag，当然casa也会自动保存flag的版本，但是只有编号没有flag的信息。

flagmanager(vis = msfile,mode = 'save',versionname = 'initialflags',comment = 'initial flags, including quack',merge='replace')flagmanager(vis = msfile,mode = 'restore',versionname = 'flags.flagdata_2',merge='replace')# versionname就是flag的版本，第一个是保存，第二个是回溯。
