| Abstract: |
The upgrade of the former IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer toward
the NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) by doubling not only
the number of antennas from 6 to 12 and baselines but also
quadrupling the instantaneous bandwidth with a next-generation
correlator has necessitated a large number of software upgrades,
from antenna control over calibration, monitoring and reduction
pipelines, to new mapping and analytic tools. In this paper, the
major milestones and challenges of this multi-layer and cross
discipline expansion will be presented from an astronomer's point of
view. The adaptation to even bigger and more sensitive data coming
from powerful instruments such as NOEMA paves the way for a major
step forward in mapping the optically invisible universe. |
