APSYNSIM: An Interactive Tool to Learn Interferometry

Transactions of IAA RAS, issue 41, 85–88 (2017)

Keywords: Interferometry, Teaching

Abstract

The APerture SYNthesis SIMulator is a simple interactive tool to help the students visualize and understand the basics of the Aperture Synthesis technique, applied to astronomical interferometers. The users can load many different interferometers and source models (and also create their own), change the observing parameters (e. g., source coordinates, observing wavelength, antenna location, integration time, etc.), and even deconvolve the interferometric images and corrupt the data with gain errors (amplitude and phase). The program is fully interactive and all the figures are updated in real time. APSYNSIM has already been used in several interferometry schools and has got very positive feedback from the students.

AB  - The APerture SYNthesis SIMulator is a simple interactive tool to help
the students visualize and understand the basics of the Aperture
Synthesis technique, applied to astronomical interferometers. The
users can load many different interferometers and source models (and
also create their own), change the observing parameters (e. g.,
source coordinates, observing wavelength, antenna location,
integration time, etc.), and even deconvolve the interferometric
images and corrupt the data with gain errors (amplitude and phase).
The program is fully interactive and all the figures are updated in
real time. APSYNSIM has already been used in several interferometry
schools and has got very positive feedback from the students.
