Description
In the last two years the MWA All-Sky Virtual Observatory (ASVO) has been enhanced by addition of the calibration database. This new extension has enabled a possibility of downloading calibrated data sets in standard radio-astronomy data formats (CASA measurement sets or UV FITS files) via the MWA ASVO web page or API. Therefore, allowing any researcher worldwide, without a detailed knowledge of the MWA telescope and data processing, to download calibrated visibility data and create images using standard radio-astronomy software packages. The database has been populated with calibration solutions since the inauguration of the MWA in 2013 using fully automated data processing pipelines, including a near-real-time pipeline, which automatically processes calibration observations shortly after their acquisition.
In this talk, I will present the calibration database, the pipelines and monitoring of long-term stability of the MWA calibration solutions enabled by the near-real-time pipeline.
