"Killed"

[Abimael Amaro]

Hi everyone who has expertise in solar physics!

Using the Ubuntu 24 terminal, I've been running a code that reads a sav file that contains some data, including an extrapolated magnetic field of a 400 x 400 pixels SDO magnetogram. I'm trying to plot the contour of specific values from such an extrapolated field over a corresponding radio map using alpha=0.20. 

But both the program and the IDL session are abruptly closed after returning the message "killed".

Can anyone help me?

The odds are that there's some dodgy data in your save file.

Can you start off with a simpler investigation of the save file data?

Print the MIN and MAX values? or

TV,  bytscl(SDO_data_array), or

PLOT,  SDO_data_array or

PLOT, histogram(SDO_data_array)

Or, put the data and code online somewhere for others to play with?

Being solar data in most unlikely to be at all relevant ;-)

Is the  "killed"  message coming from IDL (which I never saw), or from the terminal? 

"killed"  sounds to me, as the process gets sent a SIGTERM or SIGKILL from outside the program. 

Any chance you try to assign too much memory and one of ROOT's cron jobs sends a SIGTERM? Or a sysadmin?
