LWA Low Frequency Data Reduction Tutorial
The LWA low frequency data reduction tutorial provides an overview of how to observe with an LWA station and provides a variety of science cases that can be investigated with the data. These include:
- observing pulsars in order to determine the period and dispersion measure,
- searching for transient events in beam formed (DRX) data, and
- searching for meteor radio afterglows in all-sky Orville images.
A brief overview of the LWA, LWA1 and LWA-SV can be found here in PDF format. The tutorial can be found in PDF form here and builds off the LWA Software Library and its extensions. The apptainer container can be here. The data for the various portions of the tutorial can be found at these locations:
