Radio Beam: Tools for Beam IO and Manipulation

Radio Beam is a simple toolkit for reading beam information from FITS headers and manipulating beams. Some example applications include:

  • Convolution and deconvolution
  • Unit conversion (Jy to/from K)
  • Handle sets of beams for spectral cubes with varying resolution between channels
  • Find the smallest common beam from a set of beams
  • Add the beam shape to a matplotlib plot

See the documentation for more information.
