Msuvbinflag is an automatic flagging algorithm for the identification

of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) in the UV plane. Prior to flagging,

the visibilities in the input CASA Measurements Set (MS) have to be

gridded onto a uniforme UV plane using the msuvbin task.

The principle underlying this algorithm is that RFI typically appears as

large scale ripples in the image domain, and therefore as compact structures
14

in the UV domain. Astronomical sources tend to have the opposite behavior, i.e.,
15
15
compact in the image domain and extended in the UV domain. Therefore by locating
16
16
compact outlier structures in the UV domain it should be possible to flag RFI.
