[158] | 1 | \secA{Future developments} |
---|
| 2 | |
---|
[162] | 3 | Here are lists of planned improvements and a wish-list of |
---|
[158] | 4 | features that would be nice to include (but are not planned in the |
---|
[162] | 5 | immediate future). Let me know if there are items not on these lists, |
---|
| 6 | or items on the list you would like prioritised. |
---|
[158] | 7 | |
---|
[162] | 8 | Planned developments: |
---|
[158] | 9 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
[162] | 10 | \item Parallelisation of the code, to improve speed particularly on |
---|
| 11 | multi-core machines. |
---|
[158] | 12 | |
---|
| 13 | \item Better determination of the noise characteristics of |
---|
| 14 | spectral-line cubes, including understanding how the noise is |
---|
[162] | 15 | generated and developing a model for it. |
---|
[158] | 16 | |
---|
| 17 | \item Include more source analysis. Examples could be: shape |
---|
| 18 | information; measurements of HI mass; more variety of measurements |
---|
[162] | 19 | of velocity width and profile. |
---|
[158] | 20 | |
---|
| 21 | \item Improved ability to reject interference, possibly on the |
---|
[162] | 22 | spectral shape of features. |
---|
[158] | 23 | |
---|
| 24 | \item Ability to separate (de-blend) distinct sources that have been |
---|
[162] | 25 | merged. |
---|
| 26 | \end{itemize} |
---|
[158] | 27 | |
---|
[162] | 28 | Wish-list: |
---|
| 29 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
| 30 | \item Incorporation of Swinburne's S2PLOT |
---|
| 31 | \footnote{\href{http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/s2plot/} |
---|
| 32 | {http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/s2plot/}} code for improved |
---|
| 33 | visualisation. |
---|
[158] | 34 | \item Link to lists of possible counterparts (\eg via NED/SIMBAD/other |
---|
[162] | 35 | VO tools?). |
---|
[158] | 36 | |
---|
| 37 | \item On-line web service interface, so a user can upload a cube and |
---|
[162] | 38 | get back a source-list. |
---|
[158] | 39 | |
---|
| 40 | \item Embed \duchamp\ in a GUI, to move away from the text-based |
---|
[162] | 41 | interaction. |
---|
[158] | 42 | \end{itemize} |
---|
| 43 | |
