A Tool and Workflow for Radio Astronomical “Peeling”
2024 April 17
With last Monday’s North American total solar eclipse throwing a lot of things off (ask me about my nine-hour drive from Vermont to Boston!), this is a good week for catching up on the blog backlog. So, nearly five years after I published it, here’s a quick advertisement for a radio interferometric peeling tool (code, publication) that I’ve developed. This post will describe the associated workflow in a bit more detail than could fit in the length-constrained Research Note (Williams et al., 2019) that presented the tool.
