uGMRT Data Pipelines
This page provides a compliation of several uGMRT data-reduction pipelines for continuum data, both total intensity and polarization, as well spectral line data. These pipelines have been developed by individual astronomers at NCRA-TIFR, India. If you make use of these pipelines, please cite the references mentioned along with the links.

3. Improved CASA-based polarization pipeline for uGMRT by Janhavi Baghel
Polarization modelling for 3C286, 3C48, and 3C138 included within the pipeline. This pipeline has so far been tested extensively on Band 4 uGMRT data. Please cite the following paper if you use this pipeline for publication purposes.
4. CASA-based pipeline for GMRT data analysis by C. H. Ishwara-Chandra
This pipeline is suitable for point source dominated fields. For imaging extended emission, CAPTURE is recommended which has smart flagging options for retaining extended emission.

5. aipsscriptwriter: uGMRT continuum data analysis pipeline by Biny Sebastian
This pipeline uses AIPS to carry out all the calibration and few rounds of imaging and self-calibration, after which the final imaging is carried out in CASA using the MT-MFS algorithm. CASA automatic flagging algorithms, namely 'tfcrop' and 'rflag' are also made use of. When making use of this pipeline, please cite Biny Sebastian's PhD thesis.

6. yarp: Yet Another Radio data reduction Pipeline - a modular CASA 6.0 based radio data reduction pipeline by Omkar Bait
This pipeline is targeted towards HI spectral line imaging.
