Synthesis

1.: Complete the FITS-IDI filler: Including: i) support for all required MS sub-tables; ii) VLBA correlator quantization corrections; iii) testing with SMA and VLBA data. Work with SMA in these tasks. (GM, H, 2 wk).
2.: BIMA filler revisions: Continued improvements in the BIMA filler. (RP, H, 1 wk).
3.: Multi-MS support in imager and calibrater: Make existing multi-MS support available in the calibrater and imager tools. (KG, H, 3 wk).
4.: Support for variable spw: Ensure proper functioning of the synthesis tools with variable-shaped spectral windows. Includes resolution of all current defects in this area (KG, H, 2 wk).
5.: Implement initial compressed data format: Implement initial solution to the MS data volume problem caused by the MODEL_DATA, CORRECTED_DATA and IMAGING_WEIGHT scratch columns. (GvD, H, 2 wk, AK, H, 1 wk).
6.: msplot defect correction: Fix all current, high-severity msplot defects. (RM, H, 2 wk).
7.: Autoflag interface revisions: Change autoflag.g Glish interface to be compatible with AIPS++ user interface conventions. (OS, H, 1 wk).
8.: Autoflag C++ code review: Complete preparation of autoflag C++ code for AIPS++ code review. (OS, H, 2 wk, AK, H, 1 wk).
9.: Requirements for uv-component fitting: Finalize requirements and implementation document for full uv-component fitting. Including list of required changes to component models. (WB, H, 1 wk).
10.: Analytic errors in simulator: Add basic analytic errors to simulator, including: i) Chebyshev polynomial in amplitude, phase, rate and delay (G Jones); ii) polynomial bandpass (B Jones); iii) Chebyshev polynomial in instrumental polarization (D Jones). Requires Chebyshev polynomial implementation. (RP, H, 2 wk).
11.: calibrater enhancements: Includes: i) identified improvements in the MS access classes; ii) full interpolation and parametrization modes. (GM, H, 4 wk).
12.: Ionosphere C++ code review: Prepare Ionosphere C++ code for code review. (OS, H, 2 wk).
13.: Ionsophere correction testing: Test first-order FJones correction on WSRT and other data. (OS, H, 3 wk).
14.: Second-order ionosphere corrections: Derive initial second-order FJones corrections to the PIM model. (OS, H, 6 wk).
15.: Automated wide-field imaging: Refine the packaging of the existing wide-field imaging capabilities. Includes: i) improved mask setting, including automated options; ii) improvements to dragon.g. (KG, H, 3 wk).
16.: SD mosaic combinations: Improved single-dish mosaicing data combination options. (KG, H, 3 wk).
17.: Planet flux density calibration: Develop flux density calibration using planets. (RP, H, 2 wk).
18.: imager test scripts: Revise all imager test scripts to use simulated data for test generation and verification. Includes coverage of all observing contexts (single-field, multi-field, mosaiced, and wide-field), and all available deconvolution algorithms. (DM, H, 4 wk, KG, H, 1 wk).
19.: ATCA test scripts: Test scripts and associated data demonstrating ATCA reduction for continuum, continuum polarimetry and spectral line reduction modes. (MW, H, 3 wk).
20.: WSRT test scripts: Test scripts and associated data demonstrating WSRT reduction for continuum, continuum polarimetry and spectral line reduction modes. (JN, H, 4 wk).
21.: BIMA test scripts: Additions to the existing BIMA test scripts to cover new observing modes. (DM, H, 2 wk).
22.: VLA test scripts: Expand the existing VLA test scripts to cover spectral-line modes and additional data sets. (AK, H, 1 wk).
23.: IRAM AIPS++ test: Verify AIPS++ reduction using IRAM test data. (AK, H, 5 wk, KG, M, 2 wk).
