It is the responsibility of the the Principal Investigator (PI) to assign access to their team, using the Keycloak administration console. Please see the group management guide for instructions on how to do this. |

MeerKAT does not apply Doppler corrections. We advise using the CASA task CVEL to apply corrections after bandpass calibration is applied. |
See discussion on polarisation calibration. |
The MeerKAT RFI environment is dominated by satellite-based RFI and as such is largely independent of time of day. Solar interference may play a factor in observations of low-surface brightness HI and this may be justification for night-only observations. |
These specify the systems that will receive data from the digitisers. Standard observations must have the correlator/beamformer (CBF) and the science data processor (SDP). Optional resources are the user-supplied equipment (USE), which capture data commensally. |
Do not apply all flags when converting to MS format. ingest_rfi flags any outliers and usually catches lines such as Galactic HI and masers. In this case you should only use --static, --cam, --data_lost Flag descriptions are here. |
Do not apply SDP flags when setting up the conversion to measurement set, or disable the flags in CASA. |
