POSSUM & VLASS Pipelines
Polarisation Sky Survey of the Universe’s Magnetism
Process and validate radio-survey products, with source spectra, cubelets, images and reports.
The POSSUM tooling operates and validates ASKAP polarization pipelines and associated radio-survey products. The workflow now includes VLASS processing alongside POSSUM, with utilities for pipeline control, data queries and review of spectra, cubelets, images and field-level results.
