Software structure

Mixed C++/Python architecture

Motivation for mixed C++ and Python

Python is interactive:
1 2 3

4

Can easily inspect or change the data structures at any time Easy and flexible control of algorithm parameters Can build more complex algorithms from routines available in C++ code Excellent environment to interactively test C++ code

Good Input/Output suppor t (including FITS and HDF5) Good plotting (matplotlib and PyX) This combination is now becoming the standard in astronomy....

OOF Input Tasks

1 2

Read data from the telescope specific format Compute the offset from the centre of source of each sample of the beam (antenna coordinate system of course!) Remove atmospheric signal and any obvious instrumental effects, e.g., by:
Fitting a linear trend to end of scans Using a line-free channels when doing spectral line

3

4 5

Compute noise estimate for each sample Do not regrid the data!

Extending OOF software for application at a new telescope

Calculation of the effect of de-focus

How to implement

Current implementations are all in C++ See oof/src/telgeo/cassegrain.hxx and oof/src/telgeo/gbtgeo.hxx Correct routine chosen on basis of telescope name in oof/src/telgeo/telswitch.hxx (Add the new telescope here!) A prime focus also exists (oof/src/telgeo/primefoc.hxx) but so far only used for simulation/testing

Interpreting the results

Interpreting the results

1

Look to see if the best-fit model beams look like the observed beams (plots are automatically generated) Look at the 2 value and compare to number of input data points Look at the correlation matrix (cvmatrix.csv) ­ are any of the parameters ver y degenerate? Look at the retrieved surface Repeat this process star ting with maximum Zernike order one (i.e., just pointing) and up to 5 or 6 for typical applications
