PRIMARY
[CLEAN\]PRIMARY [BeamSize] [/APPLY Input Output] [/COMPUTE] [/CORRECT]
[/TRUNCATE Fraction]
Compute primary beam, apply it to images or correct single-field CLEAN image
for flat-field.
By default, with no option or only the /TRUNCATE option, correct the (sin-
gle-field) CLEAN image from the (approximate) primary beam attenuation, in
order to create the sky brightness image (named SKY). The truncation level
is given by default by variable MOSAIC_TRUNCATE, and can be overriden by the
/TRUNCATE option.
The primary beam model depends on the Telescope used in the data. If Beam-
Size (in radian) is specified, it is a Gaussian with the corresponding
half-power beam size. If not, the parameters are taken from the telescope
parameters, as found in the telescope section of the CLEAN image and the ob-
serving frequency from the CLEAN image. For ALMA, the model is the Fourier
transform of a uniform 10.4 m diameter disc with 0.7 m central blockage. For
NOEMA and all other telescopes, it is a simple Gaussian with appropriate
size.
The SKY image is written with extension .lmv-sky by command WRITE.
Options /APPLY, /COMPUTE or /CORRECT modify the default behaviour. These 3
options are mutually exclusive.
