Hi,
I have produced a single pointing field 'dots'
image which I have given to Steven to carry out
simulations on. It can be viewed at
http://www.oso.chalmers.se/~jconway/ALMA/DOTSIMAGE/
It is only semi-realistic since all sources are
points, when most would be resolved in A and B array -
but the source counts are close to those
expected/observed at 345GHz, N(>S) > S^{-1.1)
More details of the image parameters can be found at the
above WWW page.
I see the main purpose of this test to see how the
arrays respond observing a set of compact components
rather than model sources with extensive smooth emission -
I hope that for this purpose its realistic enough.
John.
