Accompanying several written publications, I (or my collaborators) have published software packages in the spirit of open science and for the community to use.

MATISSE LM Data Reduction

https://github.com/jwisbell/matisse_lm_datareduction

Python scripts to process MATISSE LM-band for faint sources.

Usage

  1. First run the standard ESO Data Reduction Software (DRS) pipeline (https://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/) on your target and calibrator
  2. Make a config file (see the example in ./scripts) for each observing block (OB)
  3. Run the lm_cflux_cphase_extraction.py script for each config file.
  4. Calibrate the fluxes of your data using the lm_custompipe_calibration.py script

From there you have flux calibrated data for each exposure. You can do further Beam Commuting Device (BCD) calibration or averaging of exposures on a single baseline in the standard way for MATISSE.

This package was used in The dusty heart of Circnus. II and in my PhD thesis.

Gravity Sandbox (Gravbox)

https://github.com/jwisbell/gravity_sandbox

Augmented Reality Gravitational Dynamics Sandbox - GravBox - Version 1.0 (December 2017)

Created at the University of Iowa

  • Written by Jacob Isbell, Sophie Deam, Jianbo Lu, and Tyler Stercula

  • Graphics made by Jeremy Swanson and Jacob Isbell

  • Hardware by Mason Reed, Ross McCurty, Sadie Moore, and Wyatt Bettis

All-Sky Camera Visualization

https://github.com/jwisbell/allsky_camera

Basic python package for overplotting constellations on an all-sky camera image, for making basic measurements, and for making nightly videos. Briefly used at the University of Iowa before a lightning strike.

Faraday Rotation CNN

https://github.com/jwisbell/faraday_cnn

Scripts accompanying Brown et al. (2019) using convolutional neural networks to estimate Faraday rotation in Square Kilometer Array observations.
