After VLA imaging, the output is a text file with information and
an EPS image from KNTR + LWPLA. The pulsar should always be field 001
in the text listing. The text file format is:
# Field name RA Dec Flux RMS Comment
B0450+55.001 04 54 07.75794 55 43 41.4416 11.57 0.15 Pulsar
B0450+55.002 04 54 00.08356 55 36 45.3387 225.5 0.18 Core - jet
The RMS noise is from IMEAN's histogram estimate. Flux, RA
and DEC estimates are from MAXFIT with PIXXY = the peak found by
IMEAN. This is crude, but quick, and is sufficient for follow-up
observations.
The web page is generated from the text results and EPS images in
the aips FITS directory, using mkweb.pl, a Perl
script. This also generates the required GIF images and calculates the
angular separation (D) in arcmin.
The comment field has information about the compactness and
suitability as an in-beam candidate.
Scripts and Programs:
Aips scripts from Walter: usage notes to be added.
mkweb.pl: to generate the pulsar web pages and gif images.
anglsep.c: code to calculate angular separations between sources.
Uses SLALIB and does it without kludges!
HTML header and footer pages: these are not valid HTML pages on their own.
