w-Stacking w-projection hybrid algorithm for wide-field interferometric imaging: implementation details and improvements

The varying w spread spectrum effect for radio interferometric imaging

We study the impact of the spread spectrum effect in radio interferometry on the quality of image reconstruction. This spread spectrum effect will be induced by the wide field-of-view of forthcoming radio interferometric telescopes. The resulting chirp modulation improves the quality of reconstructed interferometric images by increasing the incoherence of the measurement and sparsity dictionari...

Revisiting the spread spectrum effect in radio interferometric imaging: a sparse variant of the w-projection algorithm

Next-generation radio interferometric telescopes will exhibit non-coplanar baseline configurations and wide field-of-views, inducing a w-modulation of the sky image, which induces the spread spectrum effect. We revisit the impact of this effect on imaging quality and study a new algorithmic strategy to deal with the associated operator. In previous studies it has been shown that image recovery ...

Wide field interferometric imaging with single-mode fibers

Classical single-mode fiber interferometers, using one fiber per aperture, have very limited imaging capabilities and small field of view. Observations of extended sources (resolved by one aperture) cannot be fully corrected for wavefront aberrations: accurate measurements of object visibilities are then made very difficult from ground-based fiber interferometers. These limitations are very sev...
