ATNF developed software packages
The following software packages and tools have been developed by ATNF staff and collaborators.
| Category | Software | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ATCA data processing | MIRIAD | Radio interferometry data reduction package used for processing most ATCA synthesis data. |
| ASKAP data processing | YANDAsoft | Previously known as ASKAPsoft this is the software developed for processing ASKAP data |
| Pulsar software | TEMPO2 | Pulsar timing software package |
| PSRCAT | ATNF pulsar catalogue software | |
| Murriyang spectral line software | INSPECTA | Data processing package for SDHDF-format data files |
| Source finding | Duchamp | Advanced source finding tool, particularly suited to 3-d data. |
| Telescope control software | SAURON | ASKAP scheduling software. |
| TOS | Telescope Operating System. Control software for ASKAP and Murriyang. | |
| TCS | Telescope Control System. Used for observing at Mopra and legacy modes at Murriyang. | |
| ATELIB | A library of FORTRAN routines used to compute the delay and phase for the ATCA | |
| Interactive web tools | coord | Calculate Rise and Set times of Sources |
| Planets | Position of the planets and moon | |
| Radial velocities | Calculates the radial velocity components of Earth, Sun etc. |
File formats, definitions and conventions
ATNF staff and collaborators have developed the following file formats and conventions.
| Category | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Coordinates | WCSLIB | Library that implements of the FITS World Coordinate System (WCS) convention. |
| Pulsar | PSRFITS | File format for pulsar searching and timing data sets |
| FITS | RPFITS | Library that implements the FITS-like format in which pre-BIGCAT ATNF synthesis and early single-dish data is written. |
| HDF5 | SDHDF | File format for spectral line and continuum data sets from the Parkes wide-band receiver and phased-array-feed. |
