Get the best calibration solution available for a target observation ID (experimental!)
e.g. http://ws.mwatelescope.org/calib/get_calfile_for_obsid?obs_id=1120493008
Where:
- obs_id is an observation ID you wish to calibrate. The get_calfile_for_obsid service will search the calibration solution database for the best calibration solution available for this observation. See MWA ASVO: Calibration Option for some background information on the calibration database and how it is populated.
This service will return:
- On Success:
- A zip file containing:
- cal_id.bin: Binary file (in AO-cal format) containing the calibration solution. This can be used in Andre Offringa's calibrate and Cotter tools. Note the filename contains the observation ID of the calibrator observation used.
- obs_id_flagged_tiles.txt: A plain text file listing the tile_id's of tiles that failed to calibrate.
- obs_id_flags.py: A simple python script which you can run to apply the calibration solution (in CASA).
- obs_id.metafits: A metafits file, with the calibration solution applied to the data.
- A zip file containing:
- On Error:
- http status 400 if the cal_id is not found in the calibration solution database.
- http status 500 if an internal error occurred.
Note that this service will only look for calibration observations taken with the same analogue attenuation ('gain_control_value') as the observation. If you wish to search for /any/ calibration solution, regardless of analogue attenuation, add the 'any_gain' parameter to the URL string - for example, http://ws.mwatelescope.org/calib/get_calfile_for_obsid?obs_id=1120493008&any_gain
Get the calibration solution for a specific calibrator observation ID (experimental!)
e.g. http://ws.mwatelescope.org/calib/get_calfile_for_calid?cal_id=1120493424
Where:
- cal_id is the observation ID of an observation that has been marked as a calibrator observation.
This service will return:
- On Success:
- A zip file containing:
- cal_id.bin: Binary file (in AO-cal format) containing the calibration solution. This can be used in Andre Offringa's calibrate and Cotter tools.
- cal_id_flagged_tiles.txt: A plain text file listing the tile_id's of tiles that failed to calibrate.
- cal_id_flags.py: A simple python script which you can run to apply the calibration solution (in CASA).
- A zip file containing:
- On Error:
- http status 400 if the cal_id is not found in the calibration solution database.
- http status 500 if an internal error occurred.
