<p>Dear NRAO staffs,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Now I am doing task QUACK. However, I don't know what the values of APARM in it should be. I will do the cutting at the beginning of each scan, is it enough? Or should I do the cutting at the end of each scan also? The attached file shows the scan data which
I retrieve from task LISTR.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Could you mind explain how to do the decision about it also, please?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Yours sincerely,</p>
<p>Jedsada Maklai</p>

<p>Dear NRAO staffs,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm using AIPS in order to do the image synthesis. It is radio continuum data from GMRT observation at 1260 MHz.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The question is, in task FITLD, what is the suitable value for CLINT parameter? and why? What is the criteria for justifying the suitable value of CLINT in general?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>(Someone used to suggest me that the suitable value should be 1.05 but I don't know the reason. My professor said I should know the reason behind this also so I will be able to apply it to other observations in the future.)</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So, could you mind explain it to me, please?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Yours sincerely,</p>
<p>Jedsada Maklai</p>
