Task: odnh3
Purpose: Ammonia analysis program
Categories: map combination, map manipulation
ODNH3 is a MIRIAD task which creates optical depth and rotational
temperatures maps from ammonia maps. Ammonia J,K=(1,1) emission
has five hyperfine components, one main hyperfine component, two
inner hyperfine components, and two outer hyperfine components.
Odnh3 takes a main hyperfine component map and either an inner
or outer hyperfine component map and combines the two maps to
make a single main hyperfine component optical depth map.
Odnh3 can also combine a J,K=(1,1) main hyperfine component
map, a J,K=(2,2) main hyperfine component map, and a J,K=(1,1)
main hyperfine component optical depth map to create a rotational
temperature map.
Any of the input maps can be masked to allow a signal-to-noise cutoff.
Key: map1
Main hyperfine component map of the J,K=(1,1) level. No default.
Key: map2
For op=taui, map2 is the inner hyperfine component map of
the J,K=(1,1) level.
For op=tauo, map2 is the outer hyperfine component map of
the J,K=(1,1) level.
For op=temp, map2 is the main hyperfine component map of
the J,K=(2,2) level.
No default.
Key: mapt
For op=temp, mapt is the J,K=(1,1) main hyperfine component
optical depth map.
No default.
Key: mask
A mask expression using FORTRAN syntax. The optical depth or
rotational temperature is only calculated at pixels where the
mask is TRUE. Thus, this keyword can be used to enforce a
signal-to-noise cutoff on the input maps. No default.
Key: region
Standard region keyword. Use `help region' for more information.
Key: op
Which Odnh3 option is being used. See map2 for details.
No default.
Key: out
The name of the output image. No default.
