THE PATH TO CASA FROM MIRIAD
 
The path from SMA Miriad has been adapted by CASA users for SMA data reduction in two ways:
  • 1) Calibration & Imaging in CASA
  • using SMALOD to convert SMA archival data to Miriad;
    using SMAFIX to correct system temperature in Miriad;
    using FITS to make multi-source UVFITS output;
    then calibrating and imaging in CASA. Here is a tutorial case for SMA CO Line Data: Calibration and Mosaic imaging.

  • 2) Calibration in Miriad & Imaging in CASA
  • using SMALOD to convert SMA archival data to Miriad;
    following the calibration procedure for SMA data in Miriad;
    using FITS to make calibrated single-source UVFITS output;
    then imaging in CASA.
