ASKAP commissioning progress |
by the ASKAP team (CASS) |
This is an early ASKAP image of the calibrator
PKS 0407-658 from the most recent commissioning run. Four second-generation
Phased-Array Feeds (PAFs) were used and a single beam was formed for this test.
We are not far off forming all 36 beams to start wide-field imaging, where
each field would be around 30 square degrees. The data were calibrated using
PKS 1934-638 instead of self-calibration. Credit: ASKAP Engineering and Science Commissioning (ACES) Team; image made by Maxim Voronkov (CASS) |
