Pykat: Python package for modelling precision optical interferometers

Daniel D. Brown, Philip Jones, Samuel Rowlinson, Andreas Freise, Sean Leavey, Anna C. Green, Daniel Toyra

英文摘要：

\textsc{Pykat} is a Python package which extends the popular optical interferometer modelling software \textsc{Finesse}. It provides a more modern and efficient user interface for conducting complex numerical simulations, as well as enabling the use of Python's extensive scientific software ecosystem. In this paper we highlight the relationship between \textsc{Pykat} and \textsc{Finesse}, how it is used, and provide an illustrative example of how it has helped to better understand the characteristics of the current generation of gravitational wave interferometers.

Rapid Development of Interferometric Software Using MIRIAD and Python

New and upgraded radio interferometers produce data at massive rates and will require significant improvements in analysis techniques to reach their promised levels of performance in a routine manner. Until these techniques are fully developed, productivity and accessibility in scientific programming environments will be key bottlenecks in the pipeline leading from data-taking to research results. We present an open-source software package, miriad-python, that allows access to the MIRIAD interferometric reduction system in the Python programming language. The modular design of MIRIAD and the h…

The MeqTrees software system and its use for third-generation calibration of radio interferometers

The formulation of the radio interferometer measurement equation (RIME) by Hamaker et al. has provided us with an elegant mathematical apparatus for better understanding, simulation and calibration of existing and future instruments. The calibration of the new radio telescopes (LOFAR, SKA) would be unthinkable without the RIME formalism, and new software to exploit it. MeqTrees is designed to implement numerical models such as the RIME, and to solve for arbitrary subsets of their parameters. The technical goal of MeqTrees is to provide a tool for rapid implementation of such models, while offe…

The Gravitational Wave Universe Toolbox: A software package to simulate observation of the Gravitational Wave Universe with different detectors

Context. As the importance of Gravitational Wave (GW) Astrophysics increases rapidly, astronomers in different fields and with different backgrounds can have the need to get a quick idea of which GW source populations can be detected by which detectors and with what measurement uncertainties. Aims. The GW-Toolbox is an easy-to-use, flexible tool to simulate observations on the GW universe with different detectors, including ground-based interferometers (advanced LIGO, advanced VIRGO, KAGRA, Einstein Telescope, and also customised designs), space-borne interferometers (LISA and a customised des…

VLBI Network SIMulator: An Integrated Simulation Tool for Radio Astronomers

In this paper we introduce a software package, the Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network SIMulator (VNSIM), which provides an integrated platform assisting radio astronomers to design the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) experiments and evaluate the network performance with a user-friendly interface. Though VNSIM is motivated to be designed for the East Asia VLBI Network, it can also be expandable to other VLBI networks and generic interferometers. The software package not only integrates the functionality of plotting $(u,v)$ coverage, scheduling the observation, and displaying the…

The NOD3 software package: A graphical user interface-supported reduction package for single-dish radio continuum and polarisation observations

The venerable NOD2 data reduction software package for single-dish radio continuum observations, developed for use at the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope, has been successfully applied over many decades. Modern computing facilities call for a new design. We aim to develop an interactive software tool with a graphical user interface (GUI) for the reduction of single-dish radio continuum maps. Special effort is given on the reduction of distortions along the scanning direction (scanning effects) by combining maps scanned in orthogonal directions or dual- or multiple-horn observations that need …
