Weblog review


  1. hifv_finalcals:

ea28 shows a dropping amplitude in the Final Amp Time and Amp Freq solutions. Likely because of the poor pointing issue noted by staff

image image

In the phase vs time solutions, ea05 shows a strange phase split between two groups of SPWs, as noted by staff image

  1. hif_makeimages (cals): Peak intensity of the phase calibrator image (J1744) is 0.518 Jy/beam, consistent with the derived flux of 0.521 Jy.
