Software Tools for Radio Astronomy

The radio-astro-tools organization hosts a number of community-developed codes pertinent to the analysis of long-wavelength astronomical data in the radio, millimeter, and far-infrared regime.

Learning:

There is a suite of tutorials available to demonstrate how to use radio-astro-tools with CASA and for various types of data set. If you have any examples you can add, please send them on! Pull requests are welcome.

Signal Identification

Signal Identification: A toolkit for signal identification and extraction from data cubes.

CASA Python and CASA pip

CASA Python: A wrapper script to allow you to use CASA's python interpreter with other packages and independent from the CASA data reduction environment. [Deprecated - instead, several groups have worked together to make sure astropy and related tools can be installed directly into CASA]

Contributed Scripts

Contributed Scripts: A depository for community-contributed scripts that are not necessarily vetted or well-tested but may be useful to others
If you'd like to contribute, there's a sandbox that you can put test code in and use for learning git and github.
