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
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)
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)
