Dirk Petry, for the CASA Development Team
The radio astronomical data analysis package CASA was selected to be the
designated tool for observers to analyse the data from the Atacama Large
mm/sub-mm Array (ALMA) which is under construction and has recently started
taking its first science data (Cycle 0). CASA is a large package which is being
developed by NRAO with major contributions from ESO and NAOJ. Generally, all
radio data from interferometers and single dish observatories can be analysed
with CASA, but the development focuses presently on the needs of the new
observatories EVLA and ALMA. This article describes the main features of CASA
and the typical analysis steps for ALMA data.
