30 | Thanks are due to the many people who have provided assistance and |
---|
31 | advice during the development and testing of \duchamp, particularly |
---|
32 | Ivy Wong, Kathrin Wolfinger, Tobias Westmeier, Sara Shakouri, Mary |
---|
33 | Putman, Cormac Purcell, Attila Popping, Tara Murphy, Enno Middelberg, |
---|
34 | Korinne McDonnell, Malte Marquarding, Philip Lah, Russell Jurek, Simon |
---|
35 | Guest, Jose Francisco Gomez, BiQing For, Luca Cortese, Mark |
---|
36 | Calabretta, David Barnes and Robbie Auld. Additionally, Emil Lenc and |
---|
37 | Anita Richards both provided valuable comments on the journal paper |
---|
38 | that have helped the descriptions therein. I'd like to thank the |
---|
39 | members of the ASKAP Working Group 2 (Source Finding) for their |
---|
40 | interest and feedback - \duchamp has been considered as part of the |
---|
41 | development of ASKAP Survey Science Projects, and this has driven |
---|
42 | further development of the core \duchamp software. |
---|
43 | |
---|
44 | The graphics in \duchamp are created using the |
---|
45 | \textsc{pgplot}\footnote{\href{http://www.astro.caltech.edu/$\sim$tjp/pgplot/}{http://www.astro.caltech.edu/$\sim$tjp/pgplot/}} |
---|
46 | library, FITS file access is controlled through the |
---|
47 | \textsc{cfitsio}\footnote{\href{http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/software/fitsio/fitsio.html}{http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/software/fitsio/fitsio.html}} |
---|
48 | library \citep{pence99}, while the world-coordinate transformations |
---|
49 | are performed using the |
---|
50 | \textsc{wcslib}\footnote{\href{http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/mcalabre/WCS/index.html}{http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/mcalabre/WCS/index.html}} |
---|
51 | library (described in \citet{calabretta02}). |
---|
52 | |
---|
53 | The bulk of this work was conducted as part of a CSIRO Emerging |
---|
54 | Science Postdoctoral Fellowship, and \duchamp continues to be |
---|
55 | maintained both as a standalone package and as part of the software |
---|
56 | development effort for the ASKAP telescope. This work was supported by |
---|
57 | the NCI National Facility at the ANU. |
