'sim' cal_type

1

We're planning to use UVCal objects to store mock gain errors. Technically, these aren't calibration solutions, since they weren't derived from any calibration algorithm. (The goal would be to test...

uvw errors for non-terrestrial telescopes?

6

In our telecon the other day, we looked at the calculation of uvw's (which eventually go into the visibility calculation) for telescopes on the moon. When initializing from a parameter...

Does pyuvsim write telescope locations with sufficient precision?

4

@StellanBechtold has been working to replicate the visibilities for a single source simulation using only the alt/az calculation in the SkyModel object and an analytic beam. He's found that when...

Tests depend on analytic_diffuse repo

2

It could be good to get the analytic_diffuse repo migrated to RASG affiliates if it's going to continue being a dependency

Peak normalize

1

Should we be peak normalizing beams for every frequency? We currently do.

Functionality really lives in pyradiosky but we should check that our simulations using various kinds of source spectra make sense. A single memo documenting all the types (particularly spectral index...

Simulation with physically offset dipoles for different polarizations

1

We can do it by making each dipole a separate antenna with separate beams. Needs work to fix labeling after the fact (i.e. they'd probably come out with the same...

We have the functionality through the lunarsky module but we haven't actually run a simulation and done a critical analyses of the resulting visibilities to check it. Do they have...

It would be useful if a single UVFlag object could support multiple flag_arrays, since we often now run multiple distinct flaggers on the same data and keeping the provenance of...

Currently if one tries to select data that doesn't exist, it errors. This also happens (at least in some methods, but maybe not mir or miriad? @kartographer?) if only some...
