The Dome Has Arrived

Regarding Remaining Homework Assignment #3 2006:090:20:49: Discover and explain what each of the column numbers represent (date, time, intensity, lat, long, etc.). In the first column, define all of the parameters represented. 2. Describe the differences between the different rows. Be specific. 3. Using the intensities from one frequency (specify which one you are using) develop a surface (colorized contour) map of the intensity versus the location (RA, dec) of the center of the beam. You may use either Excel or some other data visualization package.

Regarding Remaining Homework Assignment #4 Run the Virtual Radio Interferometer Java applet from this site Using defaults, choose the sources –Point, Offset Point, Narrow Double, Wide Double, Wide Gaussian, Narrow Gaussian, Disc, Crux, Radio Galaxy –For each different source describe the source and the FFT for each of the sources For a defined configuration (you define what you like to choose as your configuration of dishes) –Set the hour-angle range to zero (this is what is known as a "cut"). Accumulate cuts at hour angles of 0, +4 and -4. Look at the uv- coverage for 6 antennas and describe how the resultant image looks for a specified point as compared to the radio galaxy source. –Start with the declination set to zero. Describe what happens on an east-west array. Now try moving antennas off the E-W line and look at the new uv-coverage.
