VLBI Tutorial Outline

Part 1: Presentation

  1. How to calibrate the VLBI continuum data? Show a flowchart. A hardcopy of the flowchart will be distributed to students too.
  2. Useful references.
Part 2: Hands-on Tutorial

Main steps:
  1. Load the data into AIPS (FITLD, MSORT, INDXR, LISTR).
  2. Calibrate amplitude (UVFLG, ANTAB, SNEDT, APCAL, CLCAL, SNPLT).
  3. Fringe-fitting (VLBAPANG, FRING, CLCAL, SNPLT).
  4. *Polarization calibrations (See the later tutorial by Perley).
  5. Bandpass calibration (BPASS/CPASS).
  6. Split the data (SPLAT, FITTP).
  7. *Imaging and self-calibration (See the earlier tutorial by Muxlow).
