Koh-Ichiro Morita has made a summary of my recent imaging simulations for ACA. The summary may be seen at this URL. Any comments or questions are welcome.
Brief summary:
Please read Advance of Alma simulation at IRAM by F. Gueth, S. Guilloteau, R. Moreno and J. Pety considering the performance of ALMA with the ACA.
The CLEAN and difference results for B arrays for all three declinations and all five test images, with directly comparable grey scale difference images, have been posted on my website, available under Steven's Lair. This now shows CLEAN and difference images for all declinations and test images, with the grey scale difference plots directly comparable. Opinins?
Al's updated minutes of the teleconference are available .
Any further thoughts on metrics??
