System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the conversion of raw radio astronomy visibility data from DSA-110's HDF5 format into CASA Measurement Sets, a standard format required for calibration and imaging.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • HDF5 to MS Conversion: Transforms 16 subband HDF5 files into a single, usable Measurement Set.
  • Data Grouping: Intelligently groups subband files by timestamp for accurate reconstruction.
  • Phaseshift Alignment: Prepares data for calibration and imaging by aligning phase centers.
  • Use Case: A radio astronomer needs to calibrate and image data from the DSA-110. This Skill provides the essential first step, ensuring the data is in the correct format and properly aligned for subsequent analysis.

Quick Start

Use the dsa110 convert command to process HDF5 files from /data/incoming to /stage/dsa110-contimg/ms for the date 2025-01-15.
