... This calibration approach is recommended when dealing with high frequency data from the old ATCA correlator, especially at 3mm wavelengths. ... The approach described here exploits the dual frequency bands that were available with the old correlator. ...

In October last year I made the tough decision to leave astronomy, after 11 years and 4 postdocs in three different countries. ... In this talk I will describe my journey from academia to industry, outline what a day in my life as a data scientist is like, and discuss the outlook for data science over the next few years. I will also suggest how someone from an astronomy background can best prepare themselves for a similar transition into data science. ...

Next: Sky Subtraction Up: Construction of Flat Previous: Standard construction . For a number of projects where very deep integrations and accurate flat fields are required, and the targets are point sources or much smaller than the frame size, the sky background itself can be used to calculate the flat field. ... Use STATISTICS/IMAGE to calculate the image median, and COMPUTE/IMAGE to divide by this to get the normalised flat field. ...

... The parameter pgdev allows the user to specify a pgplot device, but, in contrast to the pgplot standard, the file name should not be included, but instead supplied via the parameter plotfile . ... To write a colour postscript file called op.ps: pgdev=/cps plotfile=op.ps . However note that at present, if a colour postscript device ( pgdev = `/cps'), a fits file ( pgdev = `/fits') or a ppm file ( pgdev = `/ppm') are selected, the task in fact bypasses pgplot and writes the postscript file directly. ...
