CLEAN [FirstPlane [LastPlane]] [/PLOT Clean|Residu] [/FLUX Fmin
Fmax] [/QUERY]
with METHOD = CLARK
A Major-Minor cycles CLEAN method, originally developed by B.Clark, in
which clean components are selected using a limited beam patch, and de-
convolved through Fourier transform at each major cycle. In mosaic mode
(See command MOSAIC), a mosaic clean is performed. Rings and/or stripes
may appear on extended sources. Faster than the HOGBOM method for sin-
gle fields but maybe slower for mosaics. The strategy to search for
CLEAN components in CLARK method does not work properly when the sec-
ondary side lobes are too large (e.g. larger than 0.3), or in case of
high phase noise.
