User-contributed software and scripts

This page contains links to scripts and other software products that may be useful to users of VLASS that have been contributed outside of the official VLASS project. Note that these links are provided as-is, the VLASS project takes no responsibility for the contents of these links and users should, as ever,  exercise caution when downlinking any software from unfamiliar sites.

The CIRADA Software Repository: this contains several useful items developed wholly or in-part by the CIRADA project, including the RM-tools package for analysis of polarimetric data, the CARTA visualization tool, source finding and machine learning scripts for artifact rejection.

University of Rhode Island graduate student, Erik Carlson, has written software allowing the custom generation of VLASS images, both continuum and polarization. His code is available on Github at this link.

Mark Lacy has placed some Jupyter notebooks for accessing VLASS data through the VO here.

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.
