Reduction and Calibration of GBT Radio Data of the Andromeda Galaxy

The primary objective of this thesis is to express the importance of data analysis through the reduction and calibration techniques throughout observational radio astronomy. I use a Python data pipeline written by my co-supervisor to explore data filtration techniques and data visualization methods. I do not explore every aspect of the pipeline but attempt to understand and convey all aspects I do cover.
