Feedback from users suggests that SoFiA is often not used in an optimal way, potentially resulting in suboptimal results which in the worst case scenario may get published in scientific...

Question

While fixing a mask data type casting bug earlier, I noticed that the outcome of the CNHI finder in SoFiA does not appear to deterministic. When I ran the CNHI...

Question

The current implementation of Busy Function fitting does not appear to work correctly in all cases, causing some additional problems down the line, such as catalogue formatting issues. The reason...

Bug

Several improvements in SoFiA’s handling of weights cubes would be desirable: - SoFiA’s input weights cube is currently assumed to be 1/σ, while ASKAP weights cubes are provided as **1/σ²**,...

Enhancement

I’ve got two more linker-related issues to report that I stumbled upon while using SoFiA in production mode on one of my data sets. * The first issue is that...

Bug

The idea here is to create a tool that would allow users to create publication-ready plots of SoFiA output products, including integrated spectra and moment maps. This will be required...

New feature

Suggestion on improving mask dilation have been made at the recent PHISCC meeting in Perth, including: * Grow the masks of all sources simultaneously to avoid growing one source around...

Enhancement

Several users have requested that SoFiA should provide **source parameters in physical units** rather than just raw data units. This should be implemented as a new module that turns raw...

New feature

As discussed in issue #111, SoFiA’s output file data types are rather messy at the moment. As per our discussion, the following improvements should be implemented: * Copies and simple...

Enhancement

Currently, **moment-1** maps are generated from the **entire source mask**. This will result in arbitrary and useless values in the outer regions of sources that are dominated by noise. This...
