Implement beam cut analysis #349

@vsmagalhaes

Description

@vsmagalhaes

Beam cut analysis are used to estimate pointing errors and optical misalignments in a radio telescope.
This new astrohack tool is expected to:

  • Ingest beam cut .holog.zarr files (these in turn being created from mses containing only beam cuts) .
  • Produce a .bcut.zarr file containing beam cuts.
  • The .bcut.zarr file must be opened into a beamcut_mds.
  • The beamcut_mds needs to be able to produce the following results:
    • Plots of the parallel hands versus the offsets in both directions, usually Az and El, but not always.
    • The beam centroid position (gaussian fit is a possibility)
    • The ratio between left and right first side lobes (in dB)
    • Ratio between the first sidelobes and the primary lobe (in dB)
    • The FWHM of the primary beam ()
