| Abstract: |
3-dimensional spectral line datasets are the end products of observations from single-dish telescopes and interferometers using widely differing instrument technologies over a broad wavelength range. Consequently, a range of software packages exist for the data reduction, analysis and visualization of such 3-D data sets. These packages vary greatly in scope, generality, age, maturity and the availability of support and further development effort. Here we survey a range of relevant software packages emphasising packages suitable for the handling of submillimetre data sets generated by sub-mm focal plane arrays such as HARP/ACSIS on the JCMT. The conclusions are broadly relevant to future software development and re-use for a wide variety of astronomical instruments and wavelength regimes. |
