Moment0 BUNIT Not Compatible with CARTA Flux Density Calculation #53

Description

@jmangum

The BUNIT for moment0 images produced by CubeLineMoment are "Jy.km.beam-1.s-1". It appears to me that CARTA is not recognizing this unit as a valid flux density unit as CARTA does not appear to calculate the Flux Density statistic for CubeLineMoment image properly. I have moment0 images produced by another program (pymakeplots, which is part of KinMS) that produce moment0 images that have BUNIT "Jy/beam.km/s". These moment0 do appear to be properly interpreted by CARTA. Perhaps CubeLineMoment moment0 images should use BUNIT "Jy/beam.km/s"? I could not see where in the CubeLineMoment assigned BUNIT to moment0 images (otherwise I would have suggested a PR).
