FAQPage Schema
How do I calibrate and image radio astronomy data?

You calibrate and image radio astronomy data by orchestrating workflows that apply calibration recipes, define flagging strategies, and parameterize imaging to generate science-quality continuum images.

What is flagging in radio astronomy data processing?

Flagging in radio astronomy data processing is the mechanism of implementing strategies to identify and remove corrupted or noisy data from raw telescope observations before imaging.

How do I generate mosaics from radio astronomy continuum images?

Mosaicking generates large field continuum images from calibrated radio astronomy data by parameterizing imaging workflows and combining overlapping fields of view into a single science-quality mosaic.

Can I refine radio astronomy imaging using self-calibration?

Yes, self-calibration refines radio astronomy imaging through iterative processes that apply calibration recipes repeatedly to improve the fidelity of the generated science-quality continuum images.

What data product identification and validation protocols are required for radio astronomy imaging?

Radio astronomy imaging requires strict adherence to specific data product identification and output validation protocols to ensure the generated continuum images meet science-quality standards.
