Scientific paper

An extension of the FITS tape format for the interchange of astronomical images is presented. This extension allows a FITS "image" to consist of a collection of "groups", where a group consists of a subarray of data and one or more parameters describing the non-regular coordinates associated with the subarray. This extension follows all the rules of basic FITS and only requires six new keywords, a few new values for standard keywords, and a new data structure. The new format is ideally suited for collections of arrays, such as spectra or radioastronomical visibility data, which occur on a non-regular grid.
