class
ehtim.array.Array(tarr, ephem={})[source]¶ A VLBI array of telescopes with site locations, SEFDs, and other data.

tarr¶ The array of telescope data with datatype DTARR
- Type
numpy.recarray
-
ephem¶ A dictionary of TLEs for each space antenna, Space antennas have x=y=z=0 in the tarr
- Type

(Array)
-
make_subarray(sites)[source]¶ Make a subarray from the Array object array that only includes the sites listed.
-
obsdata(ra, dec, rf, bw, tint, tadv, tstart, tstop, mjd=51544, timetype='UTC', polrep='stokes', elevmin=10.0, elevmax=85.0, no_elevcut_space=False, tau=0.1, fix_theta_GMST=False)[source]¶ Generate u,v points and baseline uncertainties.

tint (float) – the scan integration time in seconds
tadv (float) – the uniform cadence between scans in seconds
tstart (float) – the start time of the observation in hours
tstop (float) – the end time of the observation in hours
mjd (int) – the mjd of the observation
timetype (str) – how to interpret tstart and tstop; either ‘GMST’ or ‘UTC’
polrep (str) – polarization representation, either ‘stokes’ or ‘circ’
elevmin (float) – station minimum elevation in degrees
elevmax (float) – station maximum elevation in degrees
no_elevcut_space (bool) – if True, do not apply elevation cut to orbiters
tau (float) – the base opacity at all sites, or a dict giving one opacity per site
fix_theta_GMST (bool) – if True, stops earth rotation to sample fixed u,v points
- Returns
an observation object with no data
- Return type
