-*- Sample VLBA distribution file -*- The FITS file in this directory, j000015.fits, was produced by the VLBA Correlator in late June 1992, just before the machine was disassembled for shipment to New Mexico. The file contains fringe visibilities from an astronomical source observed by a five-station array in early April. The file format is described in the document vlba_format.ps; it is a set of binary tables ('BINTABLE' extensions). Those who are interested solely in the header syntax, not in the visibility data, should get the file j000015.lis, which contains an ASCII listing of the headers of all the tables plus size information for the binary records. This sample distribution file does *not* conform exactly to the format described in the document. In particular, the UV data table does not have the integration time column which is specified in the document. Send comments or questions about the VLBA format to John Benson (jbenson@nrao.edu) and/or Phil Diamond (pdiamond@nrao.edu).
