Epics- VLA Calibration Improvement: Improvements to the flagging heuristics for system and RFI Issues.
- RFI heuristics for VLA PI pipeline will be modified - moving toward VLASS or VLASS-derived
- bad deformatter flagging should gracefully recover from bad deformatter on refant
- Heuristic changes for bad deformatter identification
- proper multi-band support
- allow different min/max solints per band
- allow different bandpass calibrators per band
- API plot should appear in weblog
- gaintable flagging of final gaintables based on statistics (do within final cals?)
- heuristics need to be defined
- VLA Spectral Line Calibration: Modifications to the system to support Spectral Line science with the VLA.
- per-baseband delay capability should be implemented
- ability to use spw-mapping per baseband for final gain calibration in low S/N regime (mixed spw setups)
- pipeline should use fluxboot2 results to determine if gain calibration on individual spws will have too low S/N
- switched power weights (CASR-476)
- mstransform hanning smooth pass through (CASR-357)
- VLA Imaging Pipeline: Initial version of VLA Imaging pipeline targeting Ku-band and above
- ALMA PI Driven Imaging: Additional options in the pipeline and interface
- Improved Download Support: Cutouts for images and data selection for MS downloads
- Archive restore workflows should use XML template recipes for VLA and ALMA delivery
- templates provided in CASA 5.6.1/2
- enable intent selection, target selection, frequency averaging, and time averaging
- batch request capability
- upload formatted catalog, obtain cutouts against selected image collections (e.g., ALMA, VLASS)
- Metadata Improvement: Improved meta-data for products in the archive.
- CARTA- Archive Integration: Integration of the CARTA viewer with the Archive.
- Catalog Support: Support for searchable scientific catalogs in the Archive
- Image Ingestion: If not already complete the ingestion and service of VLASS and ALMA images.
- Large Project Support: Support for the ingest and serving of products from Large projects as collections.
- Observatory Calibrator Database: Development of a centralized calibrator database for the VLA.
- Performance Improvement: Efforts to make the system more responsive and decrease product latency.
