H2020 ESCAPE

ESCAPE

The H2020 ESCAPE project (1 February 2019 - 31 January 2023) aims to find solutions for common problems identified between astronomical, astrophysical and particle physics research domains with the intent to define requirements of the European Open Science Cloud. Common problems have been identified in the areas of handling (extremely) large datasets, finding the scientifically verified / curated software for extracting science from those datasets and knowledge of requirements to run it, enabling discovery of datasets and a science analysis platform that allows joint analysis of datasets from different (ESCAPE) partner instruments or observations.

JIVE Participation

Those four areas are addressed by work in four WPs (DIOS, OSSR, CEVO and ESAP) of which JIVE participates in three: OSSR (Open Source Software Registry), CEVO (Connecting ESFRI projects to EOSC through VO framework) and ESAP (European Science Analysis Platform). JIVE is actively involved both in defining standards such as metadata for the software (OSSR), radio visibility data in the VO (CEVO) as well as improving the Jupytercasa entry in the OSSR, making the EVN Archive findable and searchable in the VO and providing an analysis platform for (EVN) visibility data using CASA in version-controlled Jypyternotebooks.

“ESCAPE to the Future” Event Recommits JIVE and ESCAPE Partners in Collaboration for Open Science

27/10/2022
On Wednesday 26 October JIVE joined many of Europe's biggest facilities in physics-related disciplines cementing a long-term deal to commit to sharing and processing open data. This agreement was presented at the “ESCAPE to the Future” conference where partners of the H2020 ESCAPE project as well as members of the scientific community and the European Commission gathered at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Science in Brussels (Belgium).
AIPS CASA

CASA processing of VLBI observations

06/10/2022
The CASA package is now capable of calibrating the majority of VLBI observations. The new tasks and functionalities to process and calibrate VLBI observations - whose implementation has been led by JIVE - are described in a paper published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP) journal. In addition to a description of the software, a comparison with AIPS processing is included, demonstrating the results are virtually identical. This paper appears jointly with the new CASA reference paper, which gives a high-level overview of the entire CASA package.

The H2020 ESCAPE project organises final event to share its achievements and future challenges
