Hot spots in Cygnus A; A mosaiced map at 86 GHz
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We describe a new software package, MIRIAD, for making multichannel images of multiple-field aperture synthesis observations. As an example of the use of the new software we present a map of the radio galaxy Cygnus A. We used the BIMA array to map Cygnus A at 86 GHz with 2.28 × 3.06 arcsec resolution in 3 fields centered on the central radio source and the radio hot spots in each radio lobe. The 3 fields were combined and deconvolved to find the positions and flux densities of the radio source components.
