| Abstract: |
Radio Frequency Interference is one of the most pressing problems in
cm-wavelength world-wide radio astronomy, in particular for single-dish
telescope observations. Due to both the increasing abundance of man-made
interfering signals and the improved performance of the telescope
instrumentation, the impact of RFI at the Italian radio telescope sites is now
a major concern, thus strategies for its mitigation are to be applied.
Dish Washer is a new software tool for the detection and flagging of RFI in
signals collected by single-dish radio telescopes. It implements both
interactive flagging and some level of automatic detection of RFI through
dedicated algorithms. Its first public release is foreseen as free software
under the GNU General Public License. |
