Key: map One or perhaps two input dirty images (or cubes). ... The optional second dirty map can be a single-dish image. ... Key: rmsfac MOSMEM must be able to the theoretical rms noise of the input dirty map(s), and will, by default, attempt to reduce the residuals to have the same rms as this. ...

Next: Reduction procedure Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Strategy . Standard stars can be included in the extinction solution, if one is careful. The problem is that there are usually appreciable ``conformity errors'' due to mismatch between the instrumental and the standard passbands [ 16 ]. ... Thus, it is wrong to assume that the transformation between the instrumental system and the standard system is exact, even if there were no measurement error in either system [ 1 ]. ...

... As any interferometer, even those with spectrometers, measure the visibilities integrated over band passes of non-negligible widths, computes model visibilities on a grid of wavelengths. The results (visibilities, fluxes) are then integrated over wavelength, whereby special attention needs to be payed to the averaging corresponding to what the instrument actually does. ...
