| 21 | ASAP \- process single dish spectral data |
|---|
| 22 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
|---|
| 23 | .B asap |
|---|
| 24 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 25 | This manual page briefly documents the |
|---|
| 26 | .B asap |
|---|
| 27 | command. The program has internal help as well. |
|---|
| 28 | .PP |
|---|
| 29 | .\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and |
|---|
| 30 | .\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, |
|---|
| 31 | .\" respectively. |
|---|
| 32 | \fBasap\fP is an interactive ipython shell that lets you process |
|---|
| 33 | spectroscopic data from astronomical telescopes and make |
|---|
| 34 | publication-quality plots. |
|---|
| 35 | .PP |
|---|
| 36 | The input files can be RPFITS, SDFITS or CASA Measurement Sets, |
|---|
| 37 | output can be saved as SDFITS or Measurement Set. |
|---|
| 38 | .SH ENVIRONMENT |
|---|
| 39 | You may wish to set the following environment variables, to change |
|---|
| 40 | the program's behaviour. |
|---|
| 41 | .TP |
|---|
| 42 | .B ASAPDATA |
|---|
| 43 | Path to astronomical ephemeris data files. These are needed to allow |
|---|
| 44 | calculations of radial velocity, rest frequency of various transitions, etc. |
|---|
| 45 | .PP |
|---|
| 46 | They will usually be available in your installation of CASA. |
|---|
| 47 | If your casa installation is at /nfs/casa, the ephemeris data should be |
|---|
| 48 | in /nfs/casa/data; set ASAPDATA to that path. |
|---|
| 49 | .PP |
|---|
| 50 | These data files can also be downloaded from |
|---|
| 51 | .TP |
|---|
| 52 | ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/asap/data/asap_data/tar.bz2 |
