Auto quotient
Quotients can be computed ``automatically''. This
requires the data to have matching source/reference pairs or one
reference for multiple sources. Auto quotient assumes reference scans
have a trailing ``_R'' in the source name for data from Parkes and
Mopra, and a trailing ``e'' or ``w'' for data from Tidbinbilla.
This functions has two modes. paired (the default), which assumes
matching adjacent pairs of source/reference scans and time, which finds
the closest reference scan in time.
ASAP>q = s.auto_quotient()
By default the quotient spectra is calculated
to preserve continuum emission. If you wish to remove the continuum
contribution, use the preserve argument:
ASAP>q = s.auto_quotient(preserve=True)
If this is not sufficient the following alternative method can be used.
