| 30 | Thanks are due to the many people who have provided assistance and |
---|
| 31 | advice during the development and testing of \duchamp, particularly |
---|
[1178] | 32 | Ivy Wong, Kathrin Wolfinger, Tobias Westmeier, Sara Shakouri, Mary |

| 33 | Putman, Cormac Purcell, Attila Popping, Tara Murphy, Enno Middelberg, |

| 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. |
---|
[1028] | 43 | |
---|
| 44 | The graphics in \duchamp are created using the |
---|
[1390] | 45 | \textsc{pgplot}\footnote{\href{http://www.astro.caltech.edu/$\sim$tjp/pgplot/}{http://www.astro.caltech.edu/$\sim$tjp/pgplot/}} |
---|
[1028] | 46 | library, FITS file access is controlled through the |
---|
[1390] | 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}} |
---|
[1028] | 48 | library \citep{pence99}, while the world-coordinate transformations |
---|
| 49 | are performed using the |
---|
[1390] | 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}} |
---|
[1028] | 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. |
