"Indian Image Data Processing Tech Unveils Cosmic Mysteries"

An image data processing technology developed by Thoughtworks in India, called ARTIP, has played a crucial role in the MeerKAT Absorption Live Survey (MALS) conducted by the MeerKAT Telescope in South Africa. ARTIP automates data processing, flagging, calibration, and imaging, and has led to significant discoveries, including the detection of the hydroxyl radical and the identification of huge hydrogen atoms in distant galaxies. The technology has processed over 1PB of MeerKAT data, enabling groundbreaking discoveries and benefiting the entire astronomy community. Thoughtworks continues to collaborate with scientific institutes and participate in future software development for the telescope.
