ATNF has expertise in the full end-to-end development of radio astronomy systems. This includes software to control the telescopes, manage and curate the the vast quantities produced, and to write the imaging and calibration software that produces the images and other data products from which astronomers extract their science.
Key capabilities include:
- Telescope control and monitoring systems
- Data management and archiving systems
- Imaging and calibration algorithms (see image on right)
- Writing code for high-performance computers
- Pattern recognition algorithms including AI
