MiRA-2 is an almost complete rewrite of MiRA-1 with the objective to support 2nd generation VLTI instruments. For the end user the most significant changes are:

  • Accounting of bandwidth smearing (with customizable shape and importance factor).
  • Ability to save model complex visibilities (options --save_visibilities).
  • Multiple possible choices for the objective function used for specific kind of (partial) data. The various objective functions follow the equations in published papers.
  • Improved accounting of missing/partial data.
  • Optional recentering and/or soft-thresholding of the input image.
  • Multi-thread support.
  • Environment variables MIRA_SRCDIR and MIRA_YORICK can be used to specify where are installed the sources and wich Yorick interpreter to use.

MiRA-2 is intended to be used form the command line, the result being saved to a FITS file. Graphics display has been removed (could be back later).
