get_cal_data

Radio_Astronomy.vla_cal.get_cal_data(source)

Return calibrator data for a source.

This will handle names like BHHMM+DDd and JHHMM+DDd and 3CNNN. If it is an IAU name without a prefix it will try both B and J. For now, it doesn’t handle other names, like “Virgo A”

Note

This will use the pickle file if there is one. Otherwise it will get the data from NRAO.
