The Oxford contribution to ALBiUS has been significantly delayed due to issues regarding the availability of matching effort resulting from funding issues in the UK.
Therefore the Oxford ALBIUS contribution started October 2009.
People involved:
Matching effort (at later stages of ALBIUS):
Person months spend from 01.01.2010:
Task 6.3.2: Evaluation of data quality characterization algorithms and excision
Investigated the AIPS flagging limitation. Developed an algorithm to bypass the flagging limitation within AIPS. Bottleneck: the procedure is very IO heavy.
Based on current GMRT datasets a baseline based bandpass calibration scheme and diagnostic plots has been developed and further quality assessment tools are planned in order to investigate bandpass problems (synergies with fringe finding [e.g. delay /delay rate plots]).
Synergies with the PrepSKA program PELICAN in Oxford have been identified which will result in the matching effort.
