Virgo: A Versatile Spectrometer for Radio Astronomy
summary
Virgo is an open-source Python/GNU Radio spectrometer and radiometer that works with GNU Radio–compatible software-defined radios to handle data acquisition for radio telescopes. It automates analysis to produce averaged and calibrated spectra, dynamic spectra (waterfalls), power-vs-time series and total power distributions, and provides utilities using Astropy to compute source positions, convert equatorial/galactic coordinates, and estimate RA/Dec and alt/az for observation planning.
