Abstract:

The Siberian Solar Radio Telescope (SSRT) [1] is one of the biggest astronomical instruments. It is cross-shaped interferometer and is devoted specially to the study of the solar activity in the microwave range. Since 1992, fast observations have started to study the fine time structure of flare manifestations in the microwave range, such as spikes [2]. The way of forming its response is rather specific (till 1995, the only mode of observations was 1-dimensional one), so various programs to process its data were required. Additionally, fast observations provide us with a great amount of data which intends implementation of the special techniques for previewing and processing of this data. To solve these problems, a set of IDL programs was developed which provides the following means:

• looking through the records and viewing data in various representations;
• measurement of a radio source size, flux, and its location on the Sun;
• building of high-sensitivity 1-d images, etc.

• widget-based interface;
• use of 3 and more graphics windows simultaneously to make work comprehensive;
• the possibility of viewing and processing of the SSRT data together with optical or X-ray images;
• providing the programs with various supporting tools to make the work effective;
• use of the library worked out by our group.
