This lecture covers the concept of aperture synthesis simulation, focusing on the CLEAN algorithm and its application in radio astronomy. The instructor demonstrates the process of creating model images, generating UV plane data, and producing dirty beams and images. Various parameters such as antenna configuration, noise simulation, and calibration errors are discussed. The lecture also includes practical exercises on adjusting gain, iterating CLEAN, and analyzing residuals.
