Reducing SN1987A monitoring data
For monitoring runs, follow these steps:
- Transfer the data from cd or from the correlator pc, eg:
cp -v /DATA/CACCC_1/*.C015 .
- Load the relevant files into miriad:
atlod in=*.C015 out=2005-01-04.uvdata options=birdie,xycorr,noauto
- (optional) Index the data:
uvindex vis=2005-01-04.uvdata log=2005-01-04.uvindex
- Flag the data (definitely the primary calibrator during setup; often other
calibrators and supernova data during times of poor phase in summer):
blflag device=/xs select=sou(1934-638),freq(1,2),win(1) options=nobase
- Initialise the scripts:
cp /u/sta263/PROJECTS/sn1987a/scripts/setup .
setup
- Commence reduction:
reduce_20cm 2005-01-04.uvdata
reduce_13cm 2005-01-04.uvdata
reduce_6cm 2005-01-04.uvdata
reduce_3cm 2005-01-04.uvdata
- Extract parameters (in a form useful for atobs.dat):
extract.pl
NB final.XXXX gives:
- Cal flux and error
- SN peak flux and error
- SN integrated flux (use box integral for 3cm)
- S1 peak flux and error
- S1 integrated flux
- rms
NB results_sn.XXXX gives:
NB results_s1.XXXX gives:
