OmniUV:一个用于VLBI观测的多用途模拟工具包
OmniUV: A Multi-Purpose Simulation Toolkit for VLBI Observation
摘要:
我们提出了OmniUV,空间和地面VLBI观测的多用途模拟工具包。它支持各种VLBI站,包括地球(地面)固定站、地球轨道站、月球固定站、月球轨道站、月球-地球和地球-太阳拉格朗日1点和2点等。(3)在给定紫外分布、光源结构和系统噪声的情况下进行可见度模拟;(4)图像和光束重建。给出了空间VLBI网和宽场阵两种不同尺度下的应用实例。OmniUV是“Omnipotent UV”的缩写。我们希望它可以作为一个通用的框架,在其中各种站可以很容易地纳入和功能可以进一步扩展。该工具包已向公众提供。
英文摘要:
We present OmniUV, a multi-purpose simulation toolkit for space and ground VLBI observations. It supports various kinds of VLBI stations, including Earth (ground) fixed, Earth orbit, Lunar fixed, Lunar orbit, Moon-Earth and Earth-Sun Lagrange 1 and 2 points, etc. The main functionalities of this toolkit are: (1) Trajectory calculation; (2) Baseline uv calculation, by taking the vailability of each station into account; (3) Visibility simulation for the given uv distribution, source structure and system noise; (4) Image and beam reconstruction. Two scenarios, namely space VLBI network and wide field array, are presented as demonstrations of the toolkit applications in completely different scales. OmniUV is the acronym of "Omnipotent UV". We hope it could work as a general framework, in which various kinds of stations could be easily incorporated and the functionalities could be further extended. The toolkit has been made publicly available.
