#chimenea#
Chimenea implements a simple but effective algorithm for automated imaging
of multi-epoch radio-synthesis data, developed as part of the
[ALARRM programme](http://4pisky.org/projects/#ALARRM).
The key logic-flow is implemented in the
[pipeline.py](chimenea/pipeline.py) module.
For a full description, see the accompanying paper,
[Staley and Anderson (2015)](https://github.com/timstaley/automated-radio-imaging-paper).
The chimenea pipeline is built upon NRAO [CASA](http://casa.nrao.edu)
subroutines, interacting with the CASA environment via the
[drive-casa](https://github.com/timstaley/drive-casa)
interface layer.
While chimenea has only been tested with data from AMI-LA to date,
the algorithm is implemented in a telescope-agnostic fashion and could trivially
be adapted to other telescopes. You may want to take a look at the
[amisurvey](https://github.com/timstaley/amisurvey)
package to see how it has been integrated into our project-specific data-flow.
If you make use of chimenea in work leading to a publication, we ask that you
cite the relevant [ASCL entry](http://ascl.net/1504.005) and accompanying paper
([Staley and Anderson (2015)](https://github.com/timstaley/automated-radio-imaging-paper)).
