The outline of VLBI imaging methods. I - Calibration of flux and model fitting. II - Hybrid mapping
Abstract
The VLBI procedure of flux calibration of compact radio sources and model fitting is described. The algorithm and flow charts of the programs are discussed. Two methods of hybrid mapping are described, including their flow charts. The basic aperture synthesis algorithm is given. Model fitting is compared with hybrid mapping, discussing their advantages and disadvantages.
