Note: To support our ongoing RFI monitoring efforts, any feedback from your
program on RFI can be sent to: [email protected]
The key information to provide is:

  • Observation/project code
  • Frequency and Time of the observations
  • The characteristics of the RFI signal, in particular if it is continuous or
    intermittent?
  • If possible, a spectrum of the RFI should be included in the e-mail.
    Thanks very much for your support; this information will be continuously
    updated on the EVLA science pages at:

Flagging summary

  • Antenna ea02 is flagged for most fields.

Step 13

Final Amp Time Cal plot

  • final amp time plot diverges towards later timerange for ea07, ea09

  • Spread in final amp time plot for ea18 as noted by the staff
Screenshot 2024-12-13 at 7 59 23 PM
  • Final Amp Time Cal plot of ea25 shows deviation from 1.0

Step 17

Corrected phase: Some visibilities show large phase difference.
Screenshot 2024-12-13 at 8 11 13 PM

Corrected amplitude: Flux and phase calibrators have a few outlier visibilities

Screenshot 2024-12-13 at 8 12 25 PM Screenshot 2024-12-13 at 8 12 59 PM

Higher amplitude around 40k?
