pyuvdata v3 - Version 3.2.3

This release adds support for reading FEKO ffe files into a UVBeam object.

It also has a number of small improvements and bug fixes: - Analytic ShortDipoleBeam objects can now accept arbitrary wraps of 2pi in their feed angles. The feed angles that are stored on the object have their feed angles normalized to be between 0 and pi/2. - A bug in the UVBeam yaml constructor that caused the freq_range option to be ignored. - A bug in utils.io.ms.read_ms_history where reading the table caused an IndexError due to the "APPPARAMS" and "CLICOMMAND" columns being populated in a non-standard fashion. - A bug in UVBeam's CST reader that caused the bandpass array to be incorrectly set to 0 except for the first frequency. - A bug in UVParameter.get_from_form and UVParameter.set_from_form that caused errors when using astropy SkyCoord, Quantity or Time objects in UVParameters, arose when using UVBase._select_along_param_axis.

pyuvdata v3 - Version 3.2.1

This is the release associated with our new JOSS paper :tada:

It also fixes a few bugs:

A bug where the Telescope.get_x_orientation would not return "east" or "north" if the feed angles if outside of the range of 0 to 90 degrees (e.g. 180 and 270 degrees for x- and y-polarization should return "north".).
A bug in reading in uvfits files with baseline coordinates that have the '--' suffix, which is allowed in uvfits files.
A bug in reading in uvfits files where the antenna frame is given by an arbitrary number of repeated '?', which is allowed in uvfits.

pyuvdata v3 - Version 3.2

This version has a number of significant changes and improvements. Highlights include:

Feed angle support

The biggest change is improved support for specifying feed orientations. To support this, three new parameters, feed_array (e.g. ["x", "y"]), feed_angle and mount_type have been added to the Telescope object. Each of these have an axis of length Nants, so they can be specified per antenna. The feed_array and feed_angle also have another axis of length Nfeed (commonly equal to 2). The mount_type determines the meaning of the feed_angle and the feed_array specifies which angle applies to which feed. See the new Conventions page in the docs for a full description of these new parameters as well as detailed documentation of a number of other conventions in the pyuvdata package and radio astronomy in general. UVBeam and the AnalyticBeam based objects already had a feed_array parameter, but it has now been made required and the feed_angle and mount_type parameters have also been added as required parameters.

Other additions

Near-field phasing: Support for near-field phasing has been added to UVData.
Inverting selections: A new invert keyword added to UVData.select, UVBeam.select, UVCal.select, and UVFlag.select, which allows the user to specify data to deselect rather than select.
MSCal improvements: Support for MeasurementSet calibration subtypes "T Jones" (non-pol-specific antenna gains) and "D Jones" (polarization leakages) has been added to MSCal.
Telescope methods: Several new methods have been added to the Telescope object including __add__, reorder_antennas and reorder_feeds.
More control over warnings and errors on numerous methods and functions.

Bug fixes

A bug in UVData.write_ms where datasets with a single spectral window were being written with the wrong conjugation when setting flip_conj=True.
A bug in UVData.write_ms where the baseline conjugation scheme did not conform to what CASA nominally expects.
A bug in MWA beams that caused beams pointed away from zenith to be wrong because the delays were not assigned to the right dipoles.
A bug in UVBeam.select where polarization_array could be incorrectly ordered after selection (if input to polarizations keyword was unordered).
A bug in UVData.sum_vis where it errored if there were different filenames on the input objects. Now the filename lists are combined on the output object.
A bug in utils.tools.slicify and utils.tools._convert_to_slices where reverse-ordered slices (i.e., where the step was negative) were not correctly handled.

Deprecated

The x_orientation parameter, which was used to specify feed orientation but with much less flexibility has been deprecated, but some convenience functions to convert between x_orientation and feed_angle when possible have been added (Telescope.set_feeds_from_x_orientation and Telescope.get_x_orientation_from_feeds).
The options "e" and "n" for elements of feed_array in and UVBeam have also been deprecated.

Removed

The future_array_shapes attribute on UVBase objects.
The use_future_array_shapes keyword in various class methods.
The use_future_array_shapes method on UVBase objects.
Support for accessing the telescope-related metadata through their old attribute names on UVData, UVCal and UVFlag rather than via their attributes on the attached Telescope object (e.g. UVData.telescope_name -> UVData.telescope.name and UVData.antenna_positions -> UVData.telescope.antenna_positions).
Support for passing telescope-related metadata as separate parameters to UVData.new and UVCal.new rather than Telescope objects.
The UVData.get_ENU_antpos method in favor of UVData.telescope.get_enu_antpos.
The Telescope.telescope_location and Telescope.telescope_name attributes in favor of Telescope.location and Telescope.name.
The get_telescope function in favor of the known_telescope_location function and the Telescope.from_known_telescopes classmethod.
The KNOWNTELESCOPE dict in favor of the `knowntelescopelocationfunction and theTelescope.fromknown_telescopes` classmethod.

Scientific Software - Peer-reviewed - Python
Published by bhazelton about 1 year ago

pyuvdata v3 - Version 3.0

This is a major new version with many new features and some breaking API changes. Highlights include:

Added/Changed:

Telescope-related metadata (including antenna metadata) on UVData, UVCal and UVFlag objects have been refactored into a Telescope object (attached to these objects as the telescope attribute)
Restructured utils.py into a new sub package utils with functions split among several submodules. Utility functions used widely are still available from pyuvdata.utils, although this access pattern is deprecated for some of them.
Require keyword arguments rather than allowing for passing arguments by position for functions and methods with many parameters.

UVCal:

Introduced CalH5, a new HDF5 based file format for calibration solutions.
Add reading and writing calibration solutions from measurement sets.
Improved support for calibration solutions that apply over a range of times, using the time_range parameter to give the start and stop times for each solutions instead of time_array (which is used for calibration solutions that are calculated per integration).
Support for "flexible-Jones" UVCal objects -- where different spectral windows can contain different Jones vectors/polarization information -- has been added, along with methods for converting UVCal objects to and from flex-Jones format and reading and writing to and from measurement sets and CalH5 files.

UVData:

Changed the way files are passed for reading FHD files to make it more similar to the API for reading FHD calibration solutions.
Support for writing "MODELDATA" and "CORRECTEDDATA" columns has been added to the UVData.write_ms method.
Improved performance for antpair2ind and _key2inds by using the blts_are_rectangular parameter, and also by caching the results. To improve performance of the cache, the resulting indices are returned as slices whenever possible.

Deprecated:

The future_array_shapes attribute on UVBase objects has been deprecated, as pyuvdata now exclusively uses future array shapes.
The use_future_array_shapes keyword in several different class methods, as well as the use_future_array_shapes method on UVBase objects.
Accessing the telescope-related metadata through their old attribute names on UVData, UVCal and UVFlag rather than via their attributes on the attached Telescope object (e.g. UVData.telescope_name -> UVData.telescope.name and UVData.antenna_positions -> UVData.telescope.antenna_positions).
Passing telescope-related metadata as separate parameters to UVData.new and UVCal.new rather than Telescope objects.
The UVData.get_ENU_antpos method in favor of UVData.telescope.get_enu_antpos.
The Telescope.telescope_location and Telescope.telescope_name attributes in favor of Telescope.location and Telescope.name.
The get_telescope function in favor of the known_telescope_location function and the Telescope.from_known_telescopes classmethod.
The KNOWNTELESCOPE dict in favor of the `knowntelescopelocationfunction and theTelescope.fromknown_telescopes` classmethod.

Removed:

Support for current array shapes has been removed on UVData, UVCal, UVFlag, and UVBeam objects, as well as the use_current_array_shapes method for these classes.
The flex_spw attribute has been removed on UVData and UVCal objects.
Support for using the old phasing attributes (phase_center_ra, phase_center_dec, phase_center_frame, phase_center_epoch, phase_type, and object_name) in UVData.
Support for handling of the input_flag_array parameter for UVCal objects.
Support for 'unknown' cal type in UVCal objects.

UVFlag now supports more metadata, including telescope_name, telescope_location, antenna_names, antenna_numbers, antenna_positions, channel_width, spw_array, flex_spw_id_array.
Added support for UVData for selecting on phase center IDs, including on read.
Significant speedup when calling polnum2str and its variants for many baselines.

It also fixed a number of bugs including:

Fixed bugs in UVCal.__add__ method when data are sorted differently or interleaved.
Fixed some bugs in UVCal methods related to the time_range attribute.
Fixed some bugs in UVData, UVFlag and UVCal __add__ and select methods for objects with only one spectral window and flex_spw_id_array defined.
Fixed a bug with the beamfits partial read parameters not being available in the UVBeam.from_file class method and not being passed properly when reading multiple files.
Fix a bug in UVData where trying to select lsts or lst_ranges on read didn't work for some file types.

Deprecations and dependency version changes:

Reading files into objects without setting use_future_array_shapes now results in deprecation warnings.
The flex_spw_id_array will be required on all UVData and UVFlag and all non-wide-band UVCal objects in version 3.0.
Deprecated the older phase attributes (phase_type, phase_center_ra, phase_center_dec, phase_center_frame, phase_center_epoch, object_name) in favor of the phase_center_catalog. The older phase attributes will be removed in version 3.0.
Deprecated the interpolation_function attribute on UVBeams in favor of a new parameter to the UVBeam.interp and UVBeam.to_healpix methods.
New minimum dependencies: h5py>= 3.1
New minimum optional dependencies: lunarsky>=0.2.1
