- Self-calibration
EVLA Tutorials for more Advanced Users
- Supernova SN2010FZ: Wide-band, narrow-field imaging; C-band (5-7 GHz) SN2010FZ Tutorial (Dataset size: 2.9GB)
Calibrate and image a galaxy field for this mid-frequency EVLA observation. This includes:
- Excising RFI from the data
- Basic flagging and calibration steps
- Imaging from one spectral window to full dataset
- Using multi-scale, multi-frequency synthesis
- Image analysis
This low-frequency EVLA tutorial for the observation of a supernova remnant focuses on RFI excision as well as imaging wide-field and wide-fractional-bandwidth data. This includes:
- Basic flagging and evaluation
- Different methods for automatic RFI excision
- Calibrating the data
- Exploring different imaging options: widefield, multi-scale, and multi-frequency synthesis
Specific Topics
