low level RFI #1260

Open viralp opened 3 years ago

viralp commented 3 years ago

Hi. Is there any autoflagging option available in the selfcal worker? I know cubical does clipping, but how to remove low level RFI as seen in the below uvplot of final visibility (after three rounds of phase selfcal)? I used tricolor's two rounds of autoflagging, before 1GC and after splitting the target.

You may need to manually do another round of flagging between rounds, at least this what I do in my pipelined processing.

Cubical is not great at flagging tiles where the gains are severely blown up due to residual RFI
