Radio Fitting: NH3 CUBE exampleΒΆ

"""
Fit NH3 Cube
============

Example script to fit all pixels in an NH3 data cube.

This is a bit of a mess, and fairly complicated (intrinsically),
but if you have matched 1-1 + 2-2 + ... NH3 cubes, you should be
able to modify this example and get something useful out.

.. WARNING:: Cube fitting, particularly with a complicated line profile
ammonia, can take a long time.  Test this on a small cube first!

.. TODO:: Turn this example script into a function.  But customizing
    the fit parameters will still require digging into the data manually
    (e.g., excluding bad velocities, or excluding the hyperfine lines from
    the initial guess)
