      WSClean can obtain the required SKA-LOW beam information from EveryBeam. The correctness of the SKA-LOW beam import was validated in a simple simulation scenario against the SKA-LOW beam implemented in OSKAR. This was demonstrated during the PI7 demo (https://confluence.skatelescope.org/display/SE/2020-08-26+PI7+Demo)

      The EveryBeam code is available at

    Description

      WSClean provides key functionality for imaging and deconvolution and should thus be able to handle SKA data. The goal is to provide a library that can figure out the right beam to use from observation meta data, e.g., from a measurement set. Settings / beam selection should optionally be further configurable by the user. The interface should support efficiently making beams for the two most-common cases: image-based beam calculation (for A-term gridding or for image-based beam correction), and "per-component" beam calculation as necessary for direct Fourier transform.
