Abstract: |
A common problem in producing interferometer maps of objects with structure on the scale-size of the primary beam is the acquisition of UV data corresponding to telescope spacings of less than one telescope diameter. One technique for solving this 'short-spacing' problem is to divide the aperture of one of the telescopes into smaller sub-apertures and measuring the visibilities between these sub-apertures. This technique is being tested using the Owens Valley Millimeter Interferometer. |
