simulate_list_rsexecute_workflow(config='LOWBD2', phasecentre=<SkyCoord (ICRS): (ra, dec) in deg     (15., -60.)>, frequency=None, channel_bandwidth=None, times=None, polarisation_frame=<ska_sdp_datamodels.science_data_model.polarisation_model.PolarisationFrame object>, order='frequency', format='vis', rmax=1000.0, zerow=False, skip=1)[source]

A component to simulate an observation

The simulation step can generate a single Visibility or a list of Visibility’s. The parameter keyword determines the way that the list is constructed. If order=’frequency’ then len(frequency) Visibility’s with all times are created. If order=’time’ then len(times) Visibility’s with all frequencies are created. If order = ‘both’ then len(times) * len(times) Visibility’s are created each with a single time and frequency. If order = None then all data are created in one Visibility.

The output format can be either ‘vis’ (for calibration) or ‘vis’ (for imaging)

Parameters:
  • config – Name of configuration: def LOWBDS-CORE

  • phasecentre – Phase centre def: SkyCoord(ra=+15.0 * u.deg, dec=-60.0 * u.deg, frame=’icrs’, equinox=’J2000’)

  • frequency – def [1e8]

  • channel_bandwidth – def [1e6]

  • times – Observing times in radians: def [0.0]

  • polarisation_frame – def PolarisationFrame(“stokesI”)

  • order – ‘time’ or ‘frequency’ or ‘both’ or None: def ‘frequency’

  • format – ‘vis’ or ‘vis’: def ‘vis’

  • zerow – Set w to zero

  • skip – Number of dishes/stations to skip

Returns:

graph of vis_list with different frequencies in different elements
