We describe a "spatio-spectral" deconvolution algorithm for wide-band imaging in radio interferometry. In contrast with the existing multi-frequency reconstruction algorithms, the proposed method does not rely on a model of the sky-brightness spectral distribution. This non-parametric approach can be of particular interest for the new generation of low frequency radiotelescopes. The proposed solution formalizes the reconstruction problem as a convex optimization problem with spatial and spectral regularizations. The efficiency of this approach has been already proven for narrow-band image reconstruction and the present contribution can be considered as its extension to the multi-frequency case. Because the number of frequency bands multiplies the size of the inverse problem, particular attention is devoted to the derivation of an iterative large scale optimization algorithm. It is shown that the main computational bottleneck of the approach, which lies in the resolution of a linear system, can be efficiently overcome by a fully parallel implementation w.r.t. the frequencies, where each processor reconstructs a narrow-band image. All the other optimization steps are extremely fast. A parallel implementation of the algorithm in Julia is publicly available at https://github.com/andferrari. Preliminary simulations illustrate the performances of the method and its ability to reconstruct complex spatio-spectral structures.
