componentlist.setflux - Function

1.2.1 Set the flux of the specified components


Description

The setflux function is used to reassign the flux of the specified components to a new value. The flux value, unit and polarization can be specified and any number of components can be set to the new value. (Currently, the parameter, error is ignored.)

Arguments





Inputs

which

A vector of indices specifying the components to modify. A vector with indices between 0 and one less than the list length, inclusively

allowed:

int

Default:

value

The flux values for the specified components A vector with four real or complex numbers

allowed:

any

Default:

unit

The units of the flux. Any string with the same dimensions as the Jansky

allowed:

string

Default:

Jy

polarization

The polarization of the value field

allowed:

string

Default:

circular

linear

Stokes

error

The error in the value field. A complex vector of length four.

allowed:

any

Default:

log

Send a message to the logger

allowed:

bool

Default:

true

Returns
bool

Example

 
 
      cl.open(’crux.cl’);  
      cl.setflux(0, [1,0,0,0], unit=’jy’,  
         polarization=’Stokes’, error=[.3, 0, 0, 0])
