Description
ARGOS-CDS is the design study phase for the planned ARGOS telescope, a leading-edge, low-cost radio interferometer to be built in Europe. It will perform continuous wide-field monitoring in between 1 GHz and 3 GHz, and high-cadence, high-SNR observations of all PTA pulsars as the most sensitive instrument in the EPTA.
The pulsar science pipeline, arpa, for ARGOS is being developed as new, open-source software inspired by TOASTER. It is mainly written in rust, a relatively young, high performance systems language with a focus on type and memory safety. Arpa aims to be both modular and efficient, utilising the widely supported Postgresql for database keeping and psrchive for pulsar archive manipulation.
