基于Python-casacore的射电测量集文件生成方法

Measurement Set File Generating Method Based on Python-casacore

  • 摘要: 测量集(MeasurementSet,MS)是射电天文领域重要的文件格式,并逐渐成为射电天文数据存储、分析与共享的标准格式,得到越来越多的天文数据处理软件的支持,在阿塔卡玛大型毫米波天线阵(Atacama Large Millimeter Array,ALMA)、LOFAR等射电望远镜系统中已经深入应用。但长期以来,测量集格式在国内应用较少,介绍了测量集格式的基本概念、目录结构和字段设计,在此基础上讨论了利用Python-casacore调用底层Casacore生成测量集文件的方法,将实现程序集成到射电天文模拟校准成像库(Radio Astronomy Simulation,Calibration and Imaging Library,RASCIL),生成仿真观测测量集文件,并利用CASA(Common Astronomy Software Applications)软件加以验证。所完成的测量集文件生成软件在满足平方千米阵工程桥接阶段工作需要的同时,也为其后续的成像、观测模拟和文件存储提供了重要支撑,对我国射电天文数据处理工作有较高的参考价值。

     

    Abstract: Measurement Set (MS) is an important file format in the field of radio astronomy for data storage, analysis and sharing. It is supported by several important astronomical data processing software, ALMA and LOFAR, for example. However, for a long time, the MS format has been used less frequently in China. This article introduces the basic concepts, directory structure, and field design of the MS format. Based on this, it discusses the method of using MS-casacore to call the underlying Casacore to generate MS files, and integrates the implementation program into the radio astronomy simulation calibration imaging library (Radio Astronomy Simulation, Calibration and Imaging Library,RASCIL) for generating simulated observation MS files. The MS files are imported into CASA (Common Astronomy Software Applications, CASA) software and the correctness gets verified. The work satisfies the requirements of the SKA engineering bridging stage and also provides key guarantees for the subsequent imaging experiments, observation simulations, and file storage.
