Title: Radio Imaging - can you guess what is on my t-shirt?
Post by: sam on May 15, 2012, 14:48: We've been working on a bunch of things for the upcoming ALMA Summer Science Exhibition stand including a hands on ALMA simulator.

I've just finished adding our "Send to twitter" function with a bit of windows based commandline wizardy - I'm actually very pleased with it. So here is a bit of an Easter egg, me through the eyes of the ALMA SSE Imager - a bit of Earth rotation really brings out my features - can you guess what is on my t-shirt? http://www.flickr.com/photos/starrydude/7202962602/

Post by: sam on May 16, 2012, 21:00: Of course, you were right. It really shows how radio imaging generally loses some of the finer details but you still get to see the overall picture. (if the problem with having sparse arrays of sensors)
