  • PIPE-1287 - fluxboot failing with target intent using pointing and a CG intent with the pointing setup
  • PIPE-1335 - selection heuristics when delay calibrator mixed with CG intent
  • PIPE-1098 - cont.dat failures for targets with some characters

Primary Development Priorities

Calibration and Flagging

  • Enhanced DTS issue identification and flagging (CASR-563/PIPE-986)

    • Option to disable bad deformatter flagging completely or partially, (PIPE-1183)
  • Possible RFI flagging refinements

    • per baseline flagging - (PIPE-1286)
    • combine targetflag heuristics into checkflag - (PIPE-1342)
    • flux calibrator RFI flagging should use residuals - (PIPE-1274)
  • Backup flags in hifv_applycal prior to calibration (PIPE-854)
  • Change hifv_targetflag to flag target data using a .flagtargetstemplate.txt - (PIPE-37)
  • Add plots to statwt weblog in PI pipeline (PIPE-1341)
  • Long solution interval calculation improvement (PIPE-1002/PIPEREQ-64)
  • Short Solution interval calculation improvments (PIPE-1340)
  • Per-baseband delay solutions (PIPE-670)

  • Spectral window mapping for gain calibration (PIPE-671)

    • enables phase calibration if not enough S/N due to faint calibrator

  • Antenna position corrections in a post-observation time window (CASR-556)

  • Gain table flagging extensions

    • Ripple detection (bad switch problem) (PIPEREQ-11)

    • Gain outlier detection (PIPEREQ-10)

  • Fluxboot gain solution flagging (PIPEREQ-9)

  • Fluxboot QA metric adjustments (PIPEREQ-8)

...

  • Enable self-calibration heuristics for continuum data only in new task (hif_selfcal) and operate on only the _cont.ms (PIPE-)
    • Joint ALMA and VLA development and should work on both types of data
    • SRDP heuristics team input


Spectral lines

  • Cont.dat interpretation to treat non-specified spws as continuum-only (PIPE-1043)Ability to use _line and cont.ms in different pipeline tasks.

  • Spectral line calibration recipe definition (PIPE-1344)

    • Save pre-target RFI flagging and split non-RFI flagged data after hifv_statwt using a new task (PIPE-1343)
  • For VLA data, enable steps to run findcont to only run on line spws
    • hif_makeimlist(specmode='mfs')
    • hif_findcont()
    • hif_uvcontfit()
    • hif_uvcontsub()
  • Spectral window mapping for gain calibration (PIPE-671)

    • enables phase calibration if not enough S/N on narrow spws

  • Use MS tool hanning smoothing to enable per spw hanning smoothing (CASR-523; PIPE-672)
  • Zoom-in plots on non-128 MHz windows for inspection of bandpass in finalcals?
  • Cont.dat interpretation to treat non-specified spws as continuum-only (PIPE-1043)


Weblog

  • Zoom feature for all hif_makeimages plots (PIPE-1083)
  • plot labels in semifinalbpdcals (PIPE-984)
  • parallactic angle vs time plot (PIPE-836)
  • Add API plot to VLA pipeline runs (PIPE-580)
