xmascat 0.1.0 (Currently under construction)

Xarray to Measurementset(v2) conversion package for ASte and other Common Astronomical radio Telescopes

xmascat refered to aste-xffts-merge (https://github.com/astropenguin/aste-xffts-merge) and b4rpipe (https://github.com/b4r-dev/b4rpipe).

May not work on MacOS (problem of casacore).

Requirement

Python >=3.7
pandas
scipy
xarray
xarray_dataclasses
astropy
python-casacore
netCDF4
(joblib)

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/ShinjiFujita/xmascat.git

Usage

import xmascat

# create xarray from ASTE observation logs and XFFTS data. 
## OTF
xmascat.create_XFFTSxarray(path_startfile="./20211205031247/OKLDr.start.20211205031247", path_antlogfile="./20211205031247/antlog_20211205031247", path_XFFTSdata="./20211205031247/XFFTS.20211205031247.A02", path_messfiles="../astref2_2023/20*/mess*.xz")

# Convert xarray to MS2 (MeasurementSet v2)

Notes

Examples: Convert MS2 to FITS using CASA
