Depends: aoflagger
Pkg-Description: RFI detector for astronomical radio observations
 The AOFlagger is a flagger framework that implements several methods to deal
 with radio-frequency interference or RFI. Some of the implemented algorithms
 are the SumThreshold method, background fitting techniques (smoothing,
 sliding window, median filters, high-pass filters) and morphological
 operators. These are combined into one default strategy that performs very
 well on almost any observation.

Depends: wsclean
Pkg-Description: Fast widefield interferometric imager
 WSClean (w-stacking clean) is a fast generic widefield imager. It uses the
 w-stacking algorithm and can make use of the w-snapshot algorithm. As of
 Feb 2014, it is 2-12 times faster than CASA's w-projection, depending on
 the array configuration. It supports full-sky imaging and proper beam
 correction for homogeneous dipole arrays such as the MWA. 
 .
 WSClean allows Hogbom and Cotton-Schwab cleaning and has wideband, multiscale,
 compressed sensing and joined-polarization deconvolution modes. All operations
 are performed on the CPU.

Depends: casasynthesis
Pkg-Description: CASA modules needed for processing synthesis data
 Aperture synthesis or synthesis imaging is a type of interferometry that
 mixes signals from a collection of telescopes to produce images having the
 same angular resolution as an instrument the size of the entire
 collection. At each separation and orientation, the lobe-pattern of the
 interferometer produces an output which is one component of the Fourier
 transform of the spatial distribution of the brightness of the observed
 object. The image (or "map") of the source is produced from these
 measurements. Astronomical interferometers are commonly used for
 high-resolution optical, infrared, submillimetre and radio astronomy
 observations.
 .
 This is a fork of some of the synthesis submodule (combined with inter
 project dependencies) of CASA 4.4.

Pkg-Description: Oxford's Square Kilometre Array Radio-telescope simulator
 The OSKAR package consists of a number of open source libraries and
 applications for the simulation of astronomical radio interferometers.
 OSKAR has been designed primarily to produce simulated visibility data from
 large aperture arrays, such as those envisaged for the SKA.

Depends: purify
Pkg-Description: Next-generation radio interferometric imaging
 PURIFY is an open-source code that provides functionality to perform radio
 interferometric imaging, i.e. to recover images from the incomplete Fourier
 measurements taken by radio interferometric telescopes. PURIFY leverages
 recent developments in the field of compressive sensing and convex
 optimization.
 .
 PURIFY is written in C and contains the high-level functionality required for
 adio interferometric imaging, such as modelling radio telescopes and posing
 imaging as a convex optimisation problem. Low-level functionality to solve
 the resulting convex optimisation is factored into the open-source companion
 code, SOPT, also written by the authors of PURIFY. For further background
 please see the following papers.

Depends: sagecal
Pkg-Description: GPU/MIC accelerated radio interferometric calibration program
 SAGECal is a very fast, memory efficient and GPU accelerated radio
 interferometric calibration program. It can handle all source models
 including points, Gaussians and Shapelets. It can calibrate along
 hundreds of directions without running out of memory in almost real
 time. Intel Xeon Phi acceleration is also available. Distributed
 calibration using MPI and consensus optimization is enabled. Also
 tools to build/restore sky models are included.

Pkg-Description: Python scripting interface for classic AIPS
 ParselTongue is a Python interface to classic AIPS, Obit and possibly
 other task-based data reduction packages. It serves as the software
 infrastructure for some of the ALBUS implementation. It allows you to
 run AIPS tasks, and access AIPS headers and extension tables from
 Python. There is also support for running Obit tasks and accessing
 data in FITS files. Full access to the visibilities in AIPS UV data
 is also available.  ParselTongue allows you to script AIPS with a
 modern programming language, making complex automated data reduction
 possible. The excellent support for today's web standards in Python
 facilitates the development of pipelines that interact easily with
 the outside world.
