Non detection and beam elongation issue
Posted: Tue Nov 26, 2019 1:09 pm
Hi,
I'm getting a weirdly elongated beam from my reduction, and a corresponding non detection.
The ra and dec for my source is: 05 16 00.4764811920 -09 48 35.394685295
I'm finding this very strange because:
(1) The weather was great (image attached)
(2) The elevation for the majority of the observation was great (image attached)
(3) There wasn't any significant outliers in the amp/phase vs time plots, or the channel vs amp plots
My reduction steps are as follows:
(1) mfcal on the bpcal with int=0.1
(2) gpcopy (1)'s sol onto the phase cal and flux cal
(3) mfcal on the flux cal with int=0.1 and options=nopassol
(4) mfcal on the phase cal with int=0.1 and options=nopassol
(5) gpboot phasecal with flux cal
(6) gpcopy (5)'s sol onto the targets
My images steps are as follows:
(1) invert with imsize=3,3,beam cell=5,5,res sup=$sup options=mfs,double
(2) clean with cutoff=5*rms
(3) restor
and cgdisp to view
Not sure what to look at from here, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Brodie
