Rick's image is indeed very good news, but there are a couple more t's to
cross. In particular we have not yet shown that...
- closures are stable over hours
- closure noise integrates down in time & frequency as expected
- off-source noise characteristics are as expected
- the noise itself is as expected (based on simultaneous VLA data to
get the flux density)
I think we'll get this done very shortly, but it's not _quite_ there yet.
In particular my imaging of the C band data did not show the expected
gains when averaging over frequency and time, though I hope some more careful
work will take care of that. With no effort (and no BLCAL) I got to a
peak-to-rms-noise dynamic range of 10,400:1 . Rick, did you use BLCAL
or was this straight from self-cal (CALIB)?
Cheers,
Michael
