CLEAN_NKEEP
This is an integer specifying the minimum number of Clean components before
testing if Cleaning has converged. The convergence is criterium is a compar-
ison of the cumulative flux evolution separated by CLEAN_NKEEP components.
If th
IF CLEAN_NKEEP is 0, CLEAN will ignore this convergence criterium, and con-
tinue clean until the CLEAN_NITER, CLEAN_ARES or CLEAN_FRES criteria indi-
cate to stop.
With CLEAN_NKEEP > 0, CLEAN will explore the stability of the total clean
flux over the last CLEAN_NKEEP iterations. For a positive (resp. negative)
source, if the Clean flux becomes smaller (resp. larger) than the Clean flux
CLEAN_NKEEP iterations earlier, CLEAN will stop.
Using CLEAN_NKEEP about 70 is a reasonable value. Some special cases (faint
extended sources) may require larger values of CLEAN_NKEEP.
