Imaging

• Radio imaging
  • a few relevant points
  • interferometry etc...
• Review of basic imaging
  • within AIPS
  • phase & gain calibration, de-convolution
• Non-coplanar baselines and multi-faceted images
• Wide-field combination imaging
• Bandwidth smearing (Chromatic aberration) and spectral-line mode
• Time-averaging smearing
• Primary beam response
• Confusion
• In-beam self-calibration
• Wide-field imaging: Multi-Frequency Synthesis
  • e-MERLIN and the EVLA
• Mosiacing
  • an example field from the GMRT at 610 and 1400 MHz
• High dynamic range imaging and implications for future instruments like the SKA
