<p>Hello again,</p>
<p>Could this ticket actually be assigned to someone? I've got some new VLBI data on this source (EVN at 5 GHz observed 1 year ago) and am seeing the same thing. So, this is a different array at a different frequency but again processed in AIPS. There is I suppose still the possibility that this has some physical origin but the phase slopes seen on the longest baselines are suspiciously linear.</p>
<p>To recap, I have a lens with two images (A and B) separated by 1.5". The flux ratio is high, ~10:1 and the weak image (B) looks pretty terrible. If I subtract the clean components from the bright image and then self-cal B (this is essentially peeling) then a subsequent map of B looks fantastic. I attach a pdf that shows the images and the phase solutions that B seems to require that A doesn't. Peeling a source 1.5" away from the phase centre shouldn't, of course, be necessary.</p>
<p>I have not yet checked to see if B appears, as before, to be drifting in R.A. but will do so.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Andy</p>
