我们描述了一组通用的实用工具,用于可视化和操纵存储在基于FITS的OIFITS数据格式中的光学干涉测量数据。这类例程包含OiPlot导航/可视化工具等代码,允许用户从OIFITS文件中提取可见性、闭合阶段和UV覆盖信息,并以各种方式显示信息。OiPlot还具有基本的数据模型拟合功能,可用于科学数据的快速初步分析。更高级的图像重建技术是专用实用程序的一部分。此外,这些例程允许来自多个干涉仪的数据被组合并一起使用。我们的部分工作还旨在开发专门针对密歇根州红组合器(MIRC)的软件。我们的经验设计一个灵活和强大的图形用户界面的基础上套接字使用python库具有广泛的适用性,本文将讨论的实用性。
We describe a set of general purpose utilities for visualizing and manipulating optical interferometry data stored in the FITS-based OIFITS data format. This class of routines contains code like the OiPlot navigation/visualization tool which allows the user to extract visibility, closure phase and UV-coverage information from the OIFITS files and to display the information in various ways. OiPlot also has basic data model fitting capabilities which can be used for a rapid first analysis of the scientific data. More advanced image reconstruction techniques are part of a dedicated utility. In addition, these routines allow data from multiple interferometers to be combined and used together. Part of our work also aims at developing software specific to the Michigan InfraRed Combiner (MIRC). Our experience designing a flexible and robust graphical user interfaced based on sockets using python libraries has wide applicability and this paper will discuss practicalities.
