Lecture

Radio Interferometry Measurement Equation

Description

This lecture covers the Radio Interferometry Measurement Equation (RIME) in the context of radio astronomy, focusing on concepts such as the All-Sky RIME, 2D Fourier Transform, Mueller Calculus, and deriving Mueller Matrices. It explains the impact of trivial and non-trivial Direction-Dependent Effects (DDEs) on interferometry measurements and the importance of the Primary Beam. The instructor discusses the relationship between observed and intrinsic Stokes parameters using Mueller matrices and conversion matrices. The lecture concludes with practical applications of the RIME in radio wavelength observations.
