It can also load from the Rick Perley's 2014 and 2019 model sets found on the web. Use CALDIR to show you the available models. The Perley models are found on ftp.aoc.nrao.edu in directories pub/staff/rperley/MODELMAPS and pub/staff/rperley/MODELMAPS2019. Adverbs: OBJECT.....The source name, e.g. 3C138 VLAOBS.....The band code, e.g. K perhaps with array code e.g. AK although no array codes are used at present or frequency in GHz (for AIPS supplied models) or MHz for Perley models. DATAIN.....If DATAIN begins with 'PERLEY' and contains 2014 or 2019 or is simply '2014' or '2019', then the available models listed are those found on the web in Rick Perley's 2014 or 2019 model sets. OUTDISK....The disk drive #. 0 => highest with space The input FITS file is INFILE='area:OBJECT_VLAOBS.MODEL' where area is either AIPSTARS or FITS in that order. The output image has OUTNAME='OBJECT_VLAOBS'; OUTCL='MODEL'; OUTSE=0 (usually ends up 1). Blanks are squeezed out so that there are no blanks preceeding the underscore in the names. Use CALDIR to determine what models exist. Note, to use these as calibrators, you must enter a total flux in the source table which is correct for your observing frequency. Then CALIB will scale the flux in these models to that total flux. These models are in J2000 coordinates. If your data are in B1950, either change the uv data to J2000 with UVFIX or change the images to B1950 with EPOSWTCH. For the JVLA we are going to produce models at more closely spaced frequencies. One band so far has this done Name BAND actual frequency ---- ---- ---------------- S 2.1 2.141 GHz 2.7 2.663 3.0 3.047 3.5 3.463 3.8 3.847 The Perley models have this done for other bands as well. ----------------------------------------------------------------
