When the beam is required, the default cutoff is task dependent. (2) > 0 => Use beam parameters from PBPARM(3)- PBPARM(7) (3-7)..For all wavelengths, the beam is described by the function: 1.0 + X*PBPARM(3)/(10**3) + X*X*PBPARM(4)/(10**7) + X*X*X*PBPARM(5)/(10**10) + X*X*X*X*PBPARM(6)/(10**13) X*X*X*X*X*PBPARM(7)/(10**16) where X is (distance from the pointing position in arc minutes times the frequency in GHz)**2. For the VLA, these parms are, by default, given by Perley's fits: (3) (4) (5) 0.0738 GHz -0.897 2.71 -0.242 0.3275 -0.935 3.23 -0.378 1.465 -1.343 6.579 -1.186 4.885 -1.372 6.940 -1.309 8.435 -1.306 6.253 -1.100 14.965 -1.305 6.155 -1.030 22.485 -1.417 7.332 -1.352 43.315 -1.321 6.185 -0.983 The defaults for PBPARM(6) and (7) are zero. Tasks: BOXES....Adds Clean boxes to BOXFILE around sources from a list. Corrects survey fluxes by beam to decide if they should be included. FACES....Makes images of catalog sources for initial calibration. Corrects survey fluxes by beam to decide if they should be included. FLATN....Re-grid multiple fields into one image incl sensitivity. Corrects mosaic'd images for beam. IMFIT....Fits Gaussians to portions of an image. Corrects answers for beam. JMFIT....Fits Gaussians to portions of an image. Corrects answers for beam. LTESS....Makes mosaic images by linear combination. Corrects images for primary beam. MOMNT....Calculates images of moments along x-axis (vel, freq, ch). Cutoff levels are adjusted fro the beam. PATGN....Task to create a user specified test or primary-beam pattern. PBCOR....Task to apply or correct an image for a primary beam. SAD......Finds and fits Gaussians to portions of an image. the answers are corrected by the beam if desired. SETFC....Makes a BOXFILE for input to IMAGR. Corrects survey fluxes by beam to decide if they should be included. SPCOR....Task to correct an image for a primary beam and spectral index. SPIXR....Fits spectral indexes to each row of an image incl curvature. Cutoff levels are adjusted fro beam. STESS....Task which finds sensitivity in mosaicing. Images are corrected for primary beam.
