Scripts extending the Wenger Interferometry Software Package (WISP) for HII region analyses.
WISP is a radio interferometry calibration and imaging pipeline written in Python and implemented through the Common Astronomical Software Applications (CASA) Package (McMullin et al. 2007). WANA adds some scripts specifically for the analysis of HII region data from various projects, including the Southern HII Region Discovery Survey.
WISP and WANA have been extensively tested using CASA versions 4.5.2, 5.0.0, and 5.1.2. There may be differences between these versions of CASA and previous/future versions that break the functionality of WISP and/or WANA.
If you find any bugs or would like to add any new features to WANA, please fork the repository and submit a pull request. I will gladly accept any corrections or contributions that extend the functionality of WANA.
- Latest version of CASA
- LaTeX installation with the available command
pdflatex scikit-image
Note: The matplotlib and astropy packages included with CASA
are very out of date (at least in CASA version 5.1.2). You may need
to upgrade these within CASA via
import pip
pip.main(['install','pip','--upgrade'])
pip.main(['install','astropy','--upgrade'])
pip.main(['install','matplotlib','--upgrade'])cookbook.txt is the series of commands, run through CASA, to image
and analyze a single field. These commands are specifically written
for the Southern HII Region Discovery Survey, but they should be a
useful guide for how to process data from different projects.
