Implementation and typical use

Deconvolution parameters are controlled by blueCLEAN_* variables. Progress has been made on automatic guess for Cleaning parameters. The table below presents the current naming scheme, with previous or equivalent names mentioned in parentheses, since these names were (or are still) used by several older packages such as [rgb]1,0,0MAPPING, AIPS or CASA. The equivalent ''old'' names (mentioned in Upper case below) will remain as aliases, while those mentioned in mixed case have disappeared as they were seldom used before.

blueCLEAN_STOP Stopping value and its Unit
blueCLEAN_ARES Absolute residual (ARES)
blueCLEAN_FRES Fractional residual (FRES)
blueCLEAN_GAIN Loop gain (GAIN)
blueCLEAN_INFLATE Inflation factor allowed to display MultiScale clean components
blueCLEAN_METHOD Cleaning Method (METHOD)
blueCLEAN_NCYCLE Maximum number of Major cycles (Nmajor)
blueCLEAN_NITER Maximum number of iterations (NITER)
blueCLEAN_NGOAL A number of components for ALMA joint deconvolution only (Ngoal)
blueCLEAN_NKEEP Number of iterations used to check convergence (see below)
blueCLEAN_POSITIVE Minimum number of positive Clean components
blueCLEAN_RATIO Ratio for Dual Resolution clean (Ratio)
blueCLEAN_SEARCH Minimum primary beam threshold for searching (Search_W)
blueCLEAN_SMOOTH Smoothing factor for Multi Scale Clean (Smooth)
blueCLEAN_SPEEDY Speeding factor for Clark (Spexp)
blueCLEAN_TRUNCATE Minimum primary beam threshold for restoring (Restore_W)
blueCLEAN_WORRY "Worry" factor for Clark (Worry)
