An accurate beam model for the NRAO 91 meter radio telescope Picha, James Rothwell
Abstract
Scalar field theory has been used to develop an accurate beam model for use with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory 91 meter radio telescope and the 6 cm dual feed system. The theoretical beam model was calibrated, to an accuracy of 3% of the beam peak, with a small sample of radio point sources within the declination range 23° ≤ δ ≤ 62°. The new beam model is shown to be effective in deconvolving differential beam maps, to a dynamic range of 30:1, by a maximum entropy deconvolution method.
