Documentation

Welcome to the Frankenstein (frank) documentation, you monster. frank fits the 1D radial brightness profile of an interferometric source given a set of visibilities. This site details how to install and run the code, provides examples for applying the model and interpreting its results, and hosts the code’s API.
