Radio Interferometry Measurement Equation: Correlation Matrix and Geometric Delay

This lecture covers the Radio Interferometry Measurement Equation (RIME) part 3, focusing on the correlation matrix and geometric delay in radio interferometry. The instructor explains how to arrange correlations into a 2x2 visibility matrix and discusses the impact of averaging and smearing on the Jones term. Various concepts such as the basic RIME, the onion RIME, and nursery RIMES are also explored. Additionally, the lecture delves into fringe stopping techniques and geometric delays, providing insights into the mathematical derivations and practical implications in radio astronomy.
