­ in uv­plane: uvcontsub<br />

Continuum subtraction<br />

<strong>CASA</strong>> uvcontsub( vis=’ngc5921.ms, # line & cont.ms<br />

field=’N5921’,<br />

spw=’0’,<br />

fitspw=’0:0~10;50~60’ # channels 0­10 and 50­60 used for continuum<br />

solint=’int’, # leave it at the default (see help for details)<br />

fitorder=0) # mean only<br />

This will create a new MS: ngc5921.ms.contsub, to be deconvolved to obtain the continuum­subtracted cube<br />

The main MS (line&cont.ms) can be cleaned <strong>with</strong> mode='mfs' and spw=fitspw to create a continuum image<br />

­ in image plane: imcontsub<br />

<strong>CASA</strong>> default(’imcontsub’)<br />

imagename = ’ngc5921.image’ # Input image (not already continuum subtracted)<br />

linefile = ’ngc5921.lineimage’ # Output line image<br />

contfile = ’ngc5921.contimage’ # Output continuum image<br />

fitorder = 1 # Polynomial order for continuum estimation<br />

chans = ’0~10,50~60’ # Line­free channels<br />

imcontsub() # Go !<br />
