Add support for ATNF Radio Facilities #61

@rachel3834

Description

@rachel3834

The (Australian Telescope National Facility (ATNF aka CSIRO))[https://www.atnf.csiro.au/] operates a number of radio facilities in Australia, and has begun to develop APIs to enable programmatic submission of observations.
We should collaborate with their developers to learn about the requirements for describing and requesting radio observations and to extend AEONlib to support requests to Australian facilities.

Gemma Anderson of CSIRO has kindly shared some information on some Australian facilities as a starting point:

In addition, the CSIRO team have developed a TOM system called TRACE-T which can already submit radio observing requests. The repo for the system can be found here with documentation.

Initial steps:

  • Review the links above and learn about the existing APIs and required observation parameters and constraints, identifying any points of tension with the existing AEONlib design and questions for the CSIRO team.
  • Review the TRACE-T implementation and discuss TOM upgrades to support radio observing modes.
