Debian Astro Radio Astronomy packages

AOFlagger est un outil qui peut trouver et supprimer les interférences des fréquences radio (RFI) dans les observations radioastronomiques. Son code a été fortement optimisé pour la rapidité et la précision. Il est utilisé par défaut par le radiotélescope LOFAR, et donc en phase de production. Le logiciel peut être exécuté de façon totalement automatique, mais une interface graphique est fournie pour analyser les résultats et mettre au point les stratégies. Le format de fichier d'entrée privilégié est le format Measurement Set (MS) de CASA.

Ce paquet fournit le fichier d'en-têtes pour compiler les programmes avec la bibliothèque.

Le paquet casacore fournit les bibliothèques principales de l'ancien paquet AIPS++/CASA (« Common Astronomy Software Applications »). Cette séparation permet de mieux isoler les bibliothèques principales des applications.

Ce paquet fournit les fichiers pour le développement d'applications.

PURIFY is a collection of routines written in C that implements different tools for radio interferometric imaging including file handling (for both visibilities and fits files), implementation of the measurement operator and set-up of the different optimization problems used for image deconvolution. The code calls the generic Sparse OPTimization (SOPT) package to solve the imaging optimization problems.

This package contains the development files.

The casacore package contains the core libraries of the old AIPS++/CASA package. This split was made to get a better separation of core libraries and applications. CASA is now built on top of casacore.

This is the Python wrapper around the library.

WSClean (w-stacking clean) is a fast generic widefield imager. It uses the w-stacking algorithm and can make use of the w-snapshot algorithm. As of Feb 2014, it is 2-12 times faster than CASA's w-projection, depending on the array configuration. It supports full-sky imaging and proper beam correction for homogeneous dipole arrays such as the MWA.

WSClean allows Hogbom and Cotton-Schwab cleaning, and can clean polarizations joinedly. All operations are performed on the CPU (it is not specialized for GPUs).

This package contains the static library and the header file to compile own programs against the library.

Aperture synthesis or synthesis imaging is a type of interferometry that mixes signals from a collection of telescopes to produce images having the same angular resolution as an instrument the size of the entire collection. At each separation and orientation, the lobe-pattern of the interferometer produces an output which is one component of the Fourier transform of the spatial distribution of the brightness of the observed object. The image (or "map") of the source is produced from these measurements. Astronomical interferometers are commonly used for high-resolution optical, infrared, submillimetre and radio astronomy observations.

This package contains the header files for development.
