About CASA
CASA, the Common Astronomy Software Applications
package, is being developed with the primary goal of
supporting the data post-processing needs of the next
generation of radio astronomical telescopes such as ALMA
and
EVLA. The package can process both
interferometric and single dish data, and is developed by an
international consortium of scientists based at the
National Radio Astronomical Observatory (NRAO), the
European Southern Observatory (ESO), the National
Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), the CSIRO Australia
Telescope National Facility (CSIRO/ATNF), and the
Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON) under
the guidance of NRAO.
The CASA infrastructure consists of a set of C++ tools bundled
together under an iPython interface as a set of data
reduction tasks. This structure provides flexibility to
process the data via task interface or as a python
script. In addition to the data reduction tasks, many
post-processing tools are available for even more
flexibility and special purpose reduction needs.
The latest CASA release is 3.3.0.
