The AOFlagger is a flagger framework that implements several methods to deal with radio-frequency interference or RFI.
I have spent a lot of time on this package, and I believe it is the best available flagger. If you use this package for scientific work, please acknowledge my work and cite the following paper that introduced the latest algorithm:
For the MWA, when using the AOFlagger inside the Cotter software, one can cite this paper instead:
Latest release:
rfigui
, tool for analyzing RFI, data and for strategy parameter tweaking;rfigui
and aoqplot
to make plots from the command line or a script.Other sources of information:

In case of questions, suggestions or feedback, please mail me. My e-mail address is <mylastname>@gmail.com, and my last name is offringa.
This package has gained tremandously from advice from my late PhD supervisor Ger de Bruyn. Andy Biggs and Ger van Diepen have provided several fixes and hints. Ole Streicher does a great job at package aoflagger for Debian. The RFI tools make heavy use of Casacore, thus their authors have been instrumental in creating the flagger. I would also like to thank all people that have provided test data or filed bug reports.
