UV_SHORT Step_2
Step (2) Extraction of UV visibilities from this map.
From the given input data cube, or the "well behaved" data cube created by
Step (1), UV_SHORT computes the visibilities in the following way:
- Fourier transform of the single dish map;
- Division by the Fourier transform of the single dish beam, up to a
maximum spacing (SHORT_SD_DIAM, in meters);
- Inverse Fourier transform to the image plane and then for each pointing
center;
- Multiplication of the image by the primary beam of the interferomete
elements;
- Fourier transform back to the UV plane;
- Creation of the visibilities, with a given weight SHORT_SD_WEIGH
and an appropriate calibration factor to Janskys SHORT_SD_FACTOR.
Both the single-dish and the interferometer antennas are assumed to have
gaussian beams (SHORT_SD_BEAM and SHORT_IP_BEAM, in radians).
