Combine DDIs in a Holography image to increase SNR

combine(image_name: str, combine_name: str = None, ant: Union[str, List[str]] = 'all', ddi: Union[int, List[int]] = 'all', weighted: bool = False, parallel: bool = False, overwrite: bool = False) → astrohack.mds.AstrohackImageFile [source]¶

Combine DDIs in a Holography image to increase SNR

Parameters

image_name (str) – Input holography data file name. Accepted data format is the output from astrohack.holog.holog
combine_name (str, optional) – Name of output file; File name will be appended with suffix .combine.zarr. Defaults to basename of input file plus holography panel file suffix.
ant (list or str, optional) – List of antennas to be processed. None will use all antennas. Defaults to None, ex. ea25.
ddi (list of int, optional) – List of DDIs to be combined. None will use all DDIs. Defaults to None, ex. [0, …, 8].
weighted (bool, optional) – Weight phases by the corresponding amplitudes.
parallel (bool, optional) – Run in parallel. Defaults to False.
overwrite (bool, optional) – Overwrite files on disk. Defaults to False.

Returns

Holography image object.

Return type

AstrohackImageFile

AstrohackImageFile

Image object allows the user to access image data via compound dictionary keys with values, in order of depth, ant -> ddi. The image object produced by combine is special because it will always contain a single DDI. The image object also provides a summary() helper function to list available keys for each file. An outline of the image object structure when produced by combine is show below:

image_mds =
    {
    ant_0:{
        ddi_n: image_ds,
    },
    ⋮
    ant_n: …
}

Example Usage

from astrohack.combine import combine

combine(
    "astrohack_obs.image.zarr",
    ant = "ea25"
    weight = False
)
