Single Dish

The NSF-NRAO Greenbank Observatory offers various software packages and pipelines for the processing and analysis of single dish data.

Software and pipelines for processing and imaging Single Dish data are hosted at the website of the Greenbank Observatory. This includes software to process data from the 100m Green Bank Telescope (GBT), the 20m telescope, and pulsar data: 

  • Dysh: Python spectral line data reduction and analysis program for single dish data, developed for the GBT.
  • GBTIDL: IDL suite for the reduction and analysis of GBT spectral line data.
  • GBT Pipelines: Python-based pipeline for processing and imaging large spectral-line and continuum data sets.
  • PRESTO: PulsaR Exploration and Search TOlkit is a suite of pulsar search and analysis software.
  • PSRCHIVE: Open source C++ library for the analysis of pulsar data.
  • DSPSF: Open source C++ library for the digital signal processing of pulsar timing signals.

Connect with NRAO

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

Founded in 1956, the NSF NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NSF NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NSF 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. NSF NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (U.S. 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.
