Resources on radio interferometry

Here is a list of open access resources on the theory of radio interferometry, including the NRAO Synthesis Imaging Book II. 

Synthesis Imaging in Radio Astronomy II (eds. Taylor, Carilli & Perley)

Basic navigation in Unix/Linux systems

If you requested NRAO computing resources, but are not familiar with Unix/Linux systems, please go through the resources listed below to gain knowledge of command-line basic navigation in these operating systems (through terminal/konsole, bash or c shell).

One of a good links is this one curated by University of Surrey. The most important parts that are needed to complete the SIW data reduction tasks are Tutorial One (all) and Two (sections 2.1-2.4):

Another good one is this one from the ubuntu distribution (including some history):

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.
