1 PdBI uv-data analysis in practice Arancha Castro-Carrizo

2 General Picture image plane brightness (x,y) What we want uv plane FT visibility (u,v) What we obtain with an interferometer

3 General Picture image plane uv plane brightness (x,y) visibility (u,v) instr IPB data Calibration lmv* (gdf) brightness (x,y) uv Gridding FFT Cleaning hpb files visibility visibility(u,v) (u,v)obs uv-table Data processed enough to have removed all instrumental contribution Data raw enough to access to observational characteristics: baseline, scan, weight, etc. Data not yet affected by the imaging process : assumptions, interpolations, computations, etc.

53 3. An inspection of the data in the uv-plane is recommended

54 (1) Passing directly from hpb mapping It may happen

55 (1) Passing directly from hpb mapping It may happen

56 (1) Passing directly from hpb mapping It may happen that there remain some wrong visibilities MAPPING> uv_flag Return to CLIC to identify the wrong visibilities and flag them in the hpb file CLIC> find /proc corr /sou Betel /rece 2 /scans CLIC> cursor store quality 9

57 (2) Passing directly from hpb mapping When short-spacing data, check that the relative calibration is ok + Short-spacing data

58 (3) Passing directly from hpb mapping Good practice: When cleaning (extended sources)

59 (3) Passing directly from hpb mapping Good practice: When cleaning (extended sources) verify that the flux obtained in the image plane coincides with that at the zero-spacing

60 (3) Passing directly from hpb mapping If not, it may happen

61 (3) Passing directly from hpb mapping It may happen When cleaning (extended sources) verify that the flux obtained in the image plane coincides with that at the zero-spacing

62 To conclude: An inspection of data in the uv-plane is recommended for all the projects A detailed analysis in the uv-plane: detection, modeling of simple shapes, to check relative calibration, etc
