Image Details
Caption: Figure 42.
Top row: the six background-subtracted mappings of Jupiter from Figure 41 appended and jointly RFI-subtracted, with 0.9 (left), 0.1 (middle), and ≈0 (right) beamwidth RFI-subtraction scales. Bottom row: the same, but excluding the fourth, significantly RFI-contaminated mapping from Figure 41. Smaller RFI-subtraction scales recover more near noise-level signal. Because multiple 0.2 beamwidth mappings are used, the RFI-subtraction scale can be as low as 0.1 beamwidths and still be completely effective at eliminating RFI. Locally modeled surfaces have been applied for visualization, with a minimum weighting scale of 1/3 beamwidths (Section 1.2.1; see Section 3.7).
