Miriad Data Reduction Software

Miriad is a radio interferometry data reduction package. Miriad can be used for the reduction of continuum and spectral line experiments from the original loading of the data (either RPFITS, FITS or old BIMA formats) through to the image analysis and display stages (publication quality output).

Miriad, in particular, supports a number of specialty niches of interest to ATCA users. These include calibration and analysis of polarimetric data from the ATCA, multi-frequency synthesis imaging, mosaicing, ATCA pulsar bin mode, and some spectral line observing applications (e.g. Zeeman experiments).
