tart-cargo 0.1.8

Curated cargo of TART radio astronomy packages for stimela 2.0

tart_cargo

Curated cargo of TART radio astronomy packages for stimela 2.0. This allows the use of TART telescope tools as part of the stimela 2.0 radio astronomy pipeline.

Author: Tim Molteno

Based on the tart_tools package which does most of the heavy lifting.

Installation and Use

Start with a suitable Linux machine, with apptainer installed.

then create a python virtual environment

python3 -m venv myvenv
source myvenv/bin/activate
pip install tart_cargo

This should install all the necessary dependencies (including stimela).

Then create a stimela recipe. An example is shown below...

#!/usr/bin/env -S stimela run -l
# This basic TART Stimela 2.0 processing pipeline

    log:
        dir: logs/log-{config.run.datetime}
        name: log-{info.fqname}
        nest: 2
        symlink: log

You can run this recipe as follows:

stimela run example_recipe.yml tart=mu-udm

This will download data, and form an image from the specified TART telescope.
