↵ Simulating Observations in CASA

Analysis

simanalyze will calculate and display up to 6 of the following:

• The array - plotants
• UV coverage
• The synthesized dirty beam (psf)
• (the first three are only for interferometric simulation - not useful for single-dish only simulation)
• The sky model image at full original resolution and scale
• The sky model image convolved with the output beam
• The output clean image
• The residual of the clean deconvolution
• The difference between the input model convolved with the beam and the output image
• The fidelity, which is the output divided by the absolute value of the difference, except that a floor equal to the RMS noise is applied to the difference image to avoid dividing by zero.
