image.deconvolvefrombeam - Function

1.1.1 Helper function to deconvolve the given source Gaussian from a beam Gaussian to return a model Gaussian

Description

This is a helper function. It is to provide a way to deconvolve gaussians from other gaussians if that is what is needed for example removing a beam Gaussian from a Gaussian source. To run this function the tool need not be attached to an image.

The return value is a record that contains the fit param and the return value is a boolean which is set to true if fit model is a point source

Arguments


Inputs
source	Three quantities that define the source majoraxis, minoraxis and Position angle
	allowed:	any
	Default:	variant
beam	Three quantities that define the beam majoraxis, minoraxis and Position angle
	allowed:	any
	Default:	variant

Returns
record

Example

"""
#
print "\t----\t deconvolvefrombeam Ex 1 \t----"
ia.maketestimage()
recout=ia.deconvolvefrombeam(source=[’5arcmin’, ’3arcmin’, ’20.0deg’], beam=[’50arcsec’,’30arcsec’, ’15deg’])
ia.close()
print ’Is pointsource ’, recout[’return’]
print ’major=’,recout[’fit’][’major’]
print ’minor=’,recout[’fit’][’minor’]
print ’pa=’,recout[’fit’][’pa’]
