The purpose of this issue is to explore the option of adjusting the minimal versions of dependencies required by SoFiA such that a good balance is achieved between supporting a...
SNR maps
Some users have expressed the wish for SoFiA to provide maps of statistical uncertainty or signal-to-noise ratio associated with moment maps produced by SoFiA. A similar feature would also be...
It would be useful for SoFiA to provide one or two useful measures of SNR, e.g. the maximum SNR achieved when adding pixels in order of decreasing flux density starting...
SoFiA currently only reads the first HDU of a FITS file and ignores any extensions and additional HDUs. Given that extensions might contain important information, such as beam information as...
Following our discussion at the last meeting, it might be worthwhile investigating if there are simply methods for determining the dynamical centre of a rotating galaxy. This would be useful...
SoFiA currently offer the option of disabling WCS conversion of output (using the `parameter.wcs` setting). When disabling this setting, parameters such as fluxes, spectra or moment maps will be presented...
SoFiA currently creates spectra across the full source mask, which maximised SNR. For diagnostic purposes (e.g. to check for baseline stability) it might be useful to also create an aperture...
Additional filtering options at the linker stage would be desirable. Maximum and minimum filtering options provided by SoFiA 1 include `merge.minVoxels`, `merge.maxVoxels`, `merge.minLoS`, `merge.maxLoS`, `merge.minFill`, `merge.maxFill`, `merge.minIntens` and `merge.maxIntens`. Some...
It would be useful to have an additional user option for having SoFiA create a Karma annotation file of all detections.
It would be useful to implement a range of additional sanity checks of user-supplied parameter settings at the start of the pipeline and print a warning message if potentially non-optimal...
