Science Scope

The Beta Release is aimed at supporting basic interferometric data reduction. It will support the import of data in a limited number of formats, and a reasonably full set of processing capabilities for only a limited number of observing modes. These are:

WILL support data from:

VLA, for frequencies > 1.3 GHz (except L-band A-configuration, no wide-field imaging), in the formats:

Archive
UVFITS (e.g. written via AIPS FITTP)

other telescopes, in UVFITS (e.g. compatible with AIPS FITLD/FITTP)
data in the ASDM format (EXPERIMENTAL ONLY)
See full data import facilities here
WILL support observing modes:
- single field interferometry
- simple mosaics
- simple combination of a single-dish image with interferometry
will NOT support observing modes:
- polarimetry
