End-to-End Recipes

Continuum | Spectral Line | Band-Specific

 

Purpose

 

 Note: these pages are a work in progress and many are placeholders for future content.

The End-to-end Recipes are meant to guide the observer through common types of data analysis, using example datasets, including explanations of the individual steps. These analyses will be broadly applicable to many EVLA datasets. In addition, there is a page which outlines reduction strategies for specific observing bands. While these are not as detailed as the other recipes, they provide a summary that should guide the observer through basic data processing, while highlighting some of the unique challenges posed by high- and low-frequency data.

 

Organization

 

Currently, there are recipes for processing a continuum mosaic of the supernova remnant 3C391 as well as a spectral line observation of the AGB star IRC+10216. We expect to add more recipes as time progresses. Note, as well, that you may find other useful tutorials and information on the CASA Guides EVLA Tutorials page (much of the content on these pages is created in the CASA Guides wiki environment).

Connect with NRAO

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory and Green Bank Observatory are facilities of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."

AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
