| parameter.offset | bool | true, false | false | If set to `false` and a region of the data cube is read in using the `input.region` parameter, then the position parameters `x`, `y`, `z`, `x_min`, `x_max`, `y_min`, `y_max`, `z_min` and `z_max` in the source catalogue will be specified relative to the region. If set to `true`, the position parameters will instead be relative to the full cube. Note that the auto-flagging log file will also adhere to this setting. |
| parameter.physical | bool | true, false | false | If set to `true`, SoFiA will attempt to convert relevant parameters to physical units. This involves conversion of channel widths to frequency/velocity units and division of flux-based parameters by the solid angle of the beam. For this to work, the relevant header parameters, including `CTYPE3`, `CDELT3`, `BMAJ` and `BMIN`, must have been correctly set. It is further assumed that the beam does not vary with frequency or position. |
| parameter.prefix | string | | SoFiA | Prefix to be used in source names. The default prefix is `SoFiA`, and the resulting default source name is `SoFiA Jhhmmss.ss-ddmmss.s` for J2000 equatorial coordinates (and likewise for other coordinate types). |
| parameter.wcs | bool | true, false | true | If set to `true`, SoFiA will attempt to convert the source centroid position (x, y, z) to world coordinates using the WCS information stored in the header. |
| parameter.wcs | bool | true, false | true | If set to `true`, SoFiA will attempt to convert the source centroid position (x, y, z) to world coordinates using the WCS information stored in the header. In addition, spectra and moment map units will be converted from channels to WCS units as well. |
