Course Details Fundamentals of Radio Interferometry NASSP 2016 Dr. Griffin Foster SKA-SA/Rhodes University NASSP 2016

Pre-requisites Maths: Computing: Physics: Linear algebra Multi-variate calculus Complex numbers Least squares minimization Periodic functions and Fourier transforms Nyquist sampling Computing: Python (ipython notebooks) Linux SSH Physics: Electrodynamics Optics NASSP 2016

Fundamentals of Radio Interferometry Course Textbook Fundamentals of Radio Interferometry https://github.com/griffinfoster/fundamentals_of_interferometry Written by SKA South Africa researchers. ipython-based interactive notebooks, there are static PDF versions of each notebook. Each lecture is related to a chapter or section of the book. This is our first time using the book. We would like to improve the content and how it is taught. Please help. NASSP 2016

Lecture Schedule March 15 (Tues): Introduction to Radio Interferometry March 17 (Thur): Radio Science Holiday April 5 (Tues): Fourier Transforms Theory and the Visibility Space (part 1) April 7 (Thur): Discrete Fourier Transforms and Practical Session April 12 (Tues): Visibility Space (part 2) April 14 (Thur): Practical Session April 19 (Tues): Imaging (part 1) April 21 (Thur): Imaging (part 2) April 26 (Tues): Deconvolution (part 1) April 28 (Thur): Deconvolution (part 2) May 3 (Tues): Practical Session May 6 (Fri): The Radio Interferometric Measurement Equation (RIME) May 10 (Tues): Instrumentation May 13 (Fri): Calibration May 17 (Tues): Practical Session May 20 (Fri): Exam Talks and Questions Practicals in the NASSP Computing Lab, Maths Building Room 408 NASSP 2016

Lecture Assessment For anyone who attends a lecture: We need you to assess the quality of the lectures and practicals, so you will be given the last 5-10 minutes of the lectures and practicals to write down your opinion about the lecture. This will be anonymous, but you will be given marks for turning something in. What worked? What did not? What did you not understand? What could be improved? etc. NASSP 2016

Practicals and Assignments Practicals (7 hours): April 7 (1 hour) : Fourier transforms April 14 (2 hours) : Introduction to Measurement Sets and CASA, Examining and Plotting Data, Basic Imaging May 3 (2 hours) : Imaging, Deconvolution, Source Finding May 17 (2 hours) : Flagging, Calibration, Self-Calibration Loop Assignments: 1. Positional Astronomy and Visibility Space, due April 14 2. Implementation of CLEAN, due May 6 3. Implementation of StEfCal, due May 27 (extra) NASSP 2016

Exam Written report on reducing a KAT-7 dataset including: flagging, calibration, imaging, deconvolution, and source finding. A 5-10 minute presentation covering your results on May 20. We will give out the data sets and exam in a few weeks, you will have most of the course to work on the report. You will be allowed to turn in a revised version of your report before May 27 if you wish. NASSP 2016
