Lecture 3
A general background to radio interferometry and its history, hands-on tutorial with real data and image reconstruction.
Requirements: Difmap. An imaging software that runs on Linux. People running Linux or Mac can install it directly. Windows users will need to either run Linux through a VM or use Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2).
Lecturer: Dr. Jeffrey Hodgson, Sejong University, Seoul, South Korea
