Task: uvplanet Purpose: Fiddle planetary and solar system data. Categories: uv analysis uvplanet is a Miriad task used to fiddle visibility datasets from planetary (and other solar system) observations. It can: - Add planet orientation parameters (plmaj,plmin,plangle) to the dataset. uvplanet recognises planets by their source name, and knows their orientations as a function of time. - Apply a time-varying phase shift to track the object. - Subtract a thermal disk. - Subtract background sources, accounting for a moving phase centre. Key: vis The name of the input uv datasets. Several can be given Wildcards are supported. No default. Key: out The name of the output uv data-set. There is no default name. Key: select The normal uv selection commands. The default is to select everything. Key: pltb Parameters for planets only, which determine model for the planetary disk to be subtracted off. It consists of one or two values. The first is the blackbody temperature of the disk, in Kelvin. The second is the limb darkening parameter. The limb darkening parameter is a value between 0 and 1. The apparent brightness of the disk falls off as cos(theta)**limb. uvplanet has built-in ephemerides and models of the planets which gives their apparent sizes and shapes. The default is 0 for both parameters (i.e. do not subtract off a disk). Key: options This gives extra processing options. Several options can be given, each separated by commas. They may be abbreviated to the minimum needed to avoid ambiguity. Possible options are: replace Replace the data with the blackbody disk and point sources (the normal behaviour is to subtract the blackbody disk and point sources). pparam Normally uvplanet uses its own ephemerides to determine planet major and minor axes and position angle to model the planets disk. The pparam option causes uvplanet to use magnetic For Jupiter only: The magnetic axis is used to set planet orientation parameters. This overrides the normal behaviour of using the spin axis. arcane The format for the pmotion text files is the "arcane" format (see below). The following options can be used to turn off calibration corrections. The default is to apply any calibration present. nocal Do not apply the gains table. nopass Do not apply bandpass corrections. nopol Do not apply polarization corrections. Key: sources This gives the position and flux of point sources to be subtracted from the visibility dataset. Many sources can be given. Each source is specified by three numbers: ra dec flux The RA and DEC are in normal Miriad format, and the flux is in Jy. Key: pmotion This parameter allows phase shifts to be applied to the data to make the phase centre track the object of interest. Assuming that the object has significant proper motion, this can correct for phase tracking errors (e.g. wrong ephemeris) or perhaps no tracking at all. One or two tracking files can be given. The first file gives the centre of the object (as a function of time). The second gives the phase centre of the observation (as a function of time). If both files are given, the data are phase shifted to the centre of the object (i.e. corrects for tracking errors). If only one file is given, then the RA and DEC in the dataset are taken as the phase centre of the telescope. The "pmotion" parameter can also be used to correct the RA and DEC stored in the dataset. If these are incorrect (e.g. many telescopes and the FITS format, do not store the time-varying RA/DEC, even though they track time varying RA/DEC), then giving the one text file twice will cause the RA and DEC to be corrected and no shifts being applied. The text files contain potentially many lines, with each line giving a sky position at a given time. Two formats for the text files are possible (if there are two input files, both must be in the same format). The normal format consists of 3 values per line, being time ra dec with "time" (UTC), "ra" and "dec" being the position of the object at a given time. The time, ra and dec are in the normal Miriad formats. The times should be in increasing order. Linear interpolation is used to estimate positions between the given times. A convenient way to develop this file is through the JPL ``Horizons'' service. This is accessed through telnet ssd.jpl.nasa.gov 6775 Using a text reformating tool (e.g. PERL), the output from Horizons is readily converted to the format required by uvplanet. Documentation on the Horizons system is available from http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.html The other possible format is the ``arcane'' format, which will be expected if "options=arcane" is given. This format is provided for obscure historical support. It consists of 6 values per line, being start_time time ra dec dra ddec The times are in modifed Julian days, ra and dec are in turns, and the rate parameters, "dra" and "ddec", are in turns/day. The record is considered valid after "start_time", and the rates are used to estimate positions between given times.
