Future Plans

The first public release of DISH in AIPS++ occurred in the most recent AIPS++ beta release. We are now responding to user feedback. For the first full release of AIPS++ operations such as multi-component fitting and FFTs will be added to DISH. The current underlying data format used by DISH is a simple AIPS++ table created by direct conversion of single dish FITS data. By the first release of AIPS++, DISH will be able to interact with an AIPS++ MeasurementSet, the AIPS++ table structure used to hold astronomical data. The command line interface needs to be cleaned up so that users can more easily insert their own specialized operations into DISH.

The long range plan for single dish calibration and imaging in AIPS++ is to follow the same model used for synthesis data within AIPS++ (Kemball 1999). An initial test of single dish calibration is expected in early 1999. An on-the-fly single dish imaging tool is planned for later in 1999.
