| Abstract: |
The majority of present and future ESO facilities, such as the VLT, ALMA and
the E-ELT, feature instruments which produce datacubes
(i.e., 2 spatial, 1 wavelength/frequency dimension). In this context,
the need for an ESO based visualization tool capable of handling
datacubes was identified. Rather than starting a new application from
scratch, it was decided to develop this visualization tool as part of
the CASA software to extend its capabilities. Handling data that is
augmented with a pixel-to-pixel error and data quality information is
an important requirement for the visualization tool, and we have defined
a convention to store such data in a single FITS file. We present the current
status of the project and give an outlook of future developments. |
