Welcome to DARC’s documentation¶
DARC (Data Analysis of Real-time Candidates) is the real-time processing pipeline of the Apertif Radio Transient System (ARTS). DARC consists of several services, that each execute a subset of the pipeline. The pipeline consists of four global parts:
Real-time triggering based on metadata of candidate transients
Real-time data processing of candidate transients
Offline post-processing
Monitoring & control
