1.6.4 Synthesis Imaging

The key synthesis imaging tasks are:

clean — Calculates a deconvolved image based on the visibility data, using one of several clean algorithms (§ 5.3);
feather — Combines a single dish and synthesis image in the Fourier plane (§ 5.5).

Most of these tasks are used to take calibrated interferometer data, with the possible addition of a single-dish image, and reconstruct a model image of the sky. Alert: The clean task is now even more powerful and incorporates the functionality of previous specialized tasks such as mosaic and widefield.

See Chapter 5 for more on synthesis imaging.
