eht-imaging: tools for imaging and simulating VLBI data

  • 1. Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics

Description


Python modules for simulating and manipulating VLBI data and producing images with regularized maximum likelihood methods. This version is an early release so please submit a pull request or email achael@cfa.harvard.edu if you have trouble or need help for your application.

The package contains several primary classes for loading, simulating, and manipulating VLBI data. The main classes are the ``Image``, ``Array``, ``Obsdata``. ``Movie`` and ``Vex`` provide tools for producing time-variable simulated data and observing with real VLBI tracks from .vex files. ``imager`` is a generic Stokes I imaging module that can produce images from data sets using various data terms and regularizers.
