This repository contains a collection of assorted scripts written by TKP members for manipulating LOFAR data. Members are encouraged to add any scripts they write which might be of interest to others.
Please place any new scripts in a directory which should include the script plus any supporting files. Also add a (brief!) "README" file describing what the script does and any instructions for running it, and update the listing below.
- data_volume
Estimate the volume of visibilities produced for a given observation.
- dump_transients_to_csv
An example of how to work with MonetDB. Dumps transients to CSV tables.
- elevation
Calculates the elevation relative to the Superterp for a given RA, Dec and observation time.
- find_flash
Finds new transient sources in fits images.
- find_preprocessed_data
Finds the preprocessed data on CEP2 for a given obsid.
- find_raw_data
Finds the raw data on CEP2 for a given obsid.
- flag_bad_station_standalone
A standalone script for automatically flagging bad stations in a measurement set.
- generate_voevent
Generate a voevent alert packet from a given transient_id.
- ms_diff
Calculate the difference between two MeasurementSets.
- posangle_from_zenith
Calculate the position angle of an observation from the zenith.
- simulated_datasets
Scripts used to create and analyse simulated datasets.
- TraP_QC_diagnostics
A script that uses TraP outputs analyse the quality of images and outputs the recommended QC settings for TraP.
- TraP_QC_plots
Creates a variety of plots to give an overview of the quality of a given dataset for TraP.
- TraP_source_overview
Creates plots of the transient parameters for all sources in a dataset.
- Tidy_Miriad
Inserts the required fits header fields which are missing in Miriad images. The images can then be processed by tkp-inject.py and TraP.
- Tidy_Mosaic
Inserts the required fits header fields which are missing in the LOFAR mosaic images. The images can then be processed by tkp-inject.py and TraP.
- uvw
Calculate the UVW coordinates of a given baseline.
