The Influence of Acquisition Techniques on the Compilation of Astronomical Data [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1977
With the increasing use of electronic rather than photographic data collection, and on-line minicomputers at the telescope, two factors will necessitate a reconsideration of the way in which data are stored at the telescope.1) Many of the electronic data collecting methods produce data in a final or semifinal (digital) form and usually with a large ...

Primary beam calibration for commensal telescopes utilizing offset optics

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
IntroductionAccurate primary beam calibration is essential for precise brightness measurements in radio astronomy. The VLA Low-band Ionosphere and Transient Experiment (VLITE) faces challenges in calibration due to the offset Cassegrain optics used in ...
