Parameter Explanations

vis

''

Name of input MS. Output goes to vis + “.contsub” (will be overwritten if already exists)

field

''

Select field(s) using id(s) or name(s)

fitspw

''

Spectral window:channel selection for fitting the continuum

excludechans

False

exclude Spectral window:channel selection in fitspw for fitting

combine

''

Data axes to combine for the continuum estimation (none, or spw and/or scan)

solint

'int'

Continuum fit timescale (int recommended!)

fitorder

int(0)

Polynomial order for the fits

spw

''

Spectral window selection for output

want_cont

False

Create vis + “.cont” to hold the continuum estimate.
