Starlink Software Collection - Kapuahi Release Notes
Highlights
General
- Kapuahi is required in order to reduce SCUBA-2 data.
New Applications
Changes to Applications
CONVERT
CUPID
FINDCLUMPS GaussClumps method now excludes peaks below the specified threshold from the output catalogue and NDF.
Improvements to the FINDCLUMPS GaussClumps method has improved its ability to decompose merged clumps.
- FINDBACK now uses mutiple processors or cores (if available) to speed up the the procesing of independent slices.
- FINDBACK can now find and use an independent default noise value for each slice of supplied NDF.

SMURF
- New command UNMAKEMAP creates artificial SCUBA_2 data from a trial sky image and a set of real SCUBE-2 raw data files.
- MAKEMAP
- Pointing corrections for the input raw data can now be specified via a text file, using new parameter POINTING.
- CONFIG parameters that specify a number of samples can now also be given in terms of seconds.
- New CONFIG parameter "SAMPCUBES" creates an output cube that contains all the data values that are combined to make each output map pixel value.
- New CONFIG parameter "COM.PERARRAY" allows a separate common mode signal to be estimated and used for each sub-array.
- The COM model can now be masked to omit source samples from the common mode estimation.
- The FLT model can now be masked to omit source samples when estimating the low frequency background of each bolometer time stream.
- SNR masks for the AST, COM and FLT models can now be taken down to much lower levels without introducing isolated noise spikes into the mask.
- A bug has been fixed that caused the memory requirements to grow monotonically when running MAKEMAP repeatedly as a monolith (e.g. from ORAC-DR or ICL).
- MAKECUBE
- Empty output tiles are now ignored, and any remaining tiles created as normal.
- A bug has been fixed that caused the memory requirements to grow monotonically when running MAKECUBE repeatedly as a monolith (e.g. from ORAC-DR or ICL).
