... The visibility datasets possibly contain correlations for different polarizations and Stokes parameters. There are two basic ways that polarization characteristics can be measured: firstly, two orthogonal feeds can be present on the antennas, and the four different polarization correlations from a baseline can be taken and recorded. ... There are two ways the user can determine which polarizations he or she wants to process, either with the select parameter, or with the stokes parameter. ...

... We present the results of an interferometric and single-dish study of G24.78+0.08, a region associated with high-mass star formation. ... We suggest that the embedded stars might be too young to have affected the surrounding molecular cloud significantly on a large scale. ... We assess that the (proto)stellar cluster lies at the center of a molecular clump with diameter of ~2 pc: to a good approximation this may be described as a spherically symmetric clump with density profile of the type n~R^(-1.8...

This document discusses the conventions for combining region and table filters, especially with regards to the comma operator. Filter specifications consist of a series of boolean expressions, separated by commas. ... Region and table filters can be combined: foo.fits[circle(10,10,3),pi=1:5] or even: foo.fits[pha==1 (10,10,3),pi==2 (20,20,8,5)] In these cases, it is not obvious whether the command should utilize an or or and operator. ...
