C-band observations of supernova remnants with SRT: 2 - Calibrations

Following to the Astronomical Validation report n°6 (AV-rep-006; Egron et al. 2015) dedicated to the C-band imaging performances of SRT through the observation of two Supernova Remnants (3C157 and W44), this second note is devoted to the calibration of the resulting maps

Single-dish total power imaging of bright sources: mapping of 3c295 in C-band and K-band

In the frame of AV tests “Single-­‐Dish Total Power Imaging of Bright Sources (I:s/w test)” (AV SNR1 test) we performed C band and K band (only central feed) imaging of point-­‐like bright calibration sources (i.e. 3C295 in particular)

C-band observations of supernova remnants with SRT: 1 - Imaging performances

We report on observations of Supernova Remnants (SNR) with SRT in the frame of Astronomical Validation (AV) test activities. These tests are aimed to assess single-dish imaging performances of “SRT first light receivers” coupled with Total Power (TP) backend and related hw/sw subsystems/procedures (including innovative ad hoc imaging techniques based on OTF scans)
