JIVE ALBiUS report 2010 Q1

April 8 2010 HJ van Langevelde

Main activities:

WP 1.1

Produced Obit/ParselTongue distribution built against Casa. Allows easy installation, and use of both Casa & ParselTongue from the same Python interpreter.

Partially implementation of table conversion from AIPS to MS calibration tables.

Work on finding, solving problems related to use of EVN MS datasets in Casa.

WP 1.3

Made ParselTongue work with newer Obit versions. Newer Obit versions are needed to allow adding “AIPS disks” on the fly, which in turn is needed to integrate AIPSLite in a user-friendly fashion.

Started investigating IPython as a vehicle to make parallelization available in a more user-friendly way.

Other:

van Langevelde attended RadioNet exec board.

Actions were taken to get the South African partner on board for the fringe tracking task. A contract change was requested and is in progress.

JIVE continues to spend funded manpower on the expected rate, although matching effort is understaffed.
