AIPY for EOVSA

AIPY (Astronomical Interferometry in Python) is a library designed to support radio astronomical interferometry. This fork is specifically customized for handling data from the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA).

Features

• Pure-python phasing, calibration, imaging, and deconvolution.
• Interfaces to MIRIAD (Fortran interferometry package) and HEALPix (spherical data sets representation).
• Custom modifications to support the large total power data array sizes encountered in EOVSA data.

Requirements

• Python 3 (3.0.x version series or newer)
• For Python 2 support, please refer to versions prior to 3.0.x.

Installation

To install AIPY for EOVSA, you can use pip:

pip install aipy-ovsa

For development purposes, you can install the source code in editable mode and build extensions in place:

pip install -e .
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
