Presenting the Containerized Automated Radio Astronomy Calibration (CARACal) pipeline, a system and telescope agnostic reduction pipeline for radio interferometer data. CARACal leverages the portability and flexibility enabled by the Stimela framework (Makhathini, 2016) to provide a simple yet powerful pipeline for both experienced and novice users.
Unlike other pipelines, which are...
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) is the next generation ground-based gamma-ray telescope facility, currently under construction. It is envisioned to ultimately consist of about 100 Cherenkov telescopes on two sites: a northern site on the Canary Island of La Palma, Spain, and a southern site near Mt. Paranal, Chile. The initial array (called "Alpha configuration") with over 60...
The Cherenkov Telescope Array gamma-ray Observatory (CTAO) is working on developing two large telescopes, each with a diameter of 23 meters, that will be installed in Paranal, Chile. They are referred to as Large Size Telescope South, LST-S. These telescopes will use a single mirror parabolic shape to capture images with moderate angular resolution. 198 hexagonal reflecting panels will be...
