As of November 2008, CASA (Patch 3, version 2.3.0, build 6693) supports heterogenous array data. At Maryland the command astroload casa will give you a new command casapy that will start the CASA software package. We also keep a copy of the cookbook in /astromake/opt/casa.

Projects:

  • bimafiller will be upgraded to a filler in order for CARMA data to be imported into CASA. This work started early 2009 (see Peter Teuben for details). Workplan:
    • Installing Developer CASA (now split in casacore and casa code)
    • casacore needs an updated mirlib to deal with 2GB+ files
    • bimafiller vs. mirfiller: migrate to the new task importmiriad
    • handle carma, sma etc. data
  • fits mosaic table in order to read mosaiced image data into CASA
