High Resolution Imaging of Compact Radio Sources by Gridding with Regularization

Abstract

AbstractThe problem of VLBI image reconstruction is a classical example of an ill-posed problem. A new procedure of gridding with regularization has been developed. This procedure was used in traditional methods (CLEAN, Hybrid) to improve the quality of compact radio source images. A few sources (GRO J1655–40, RY Scuti and Cyg X-1), observed with the VLA and VLBA, were processed with this procedure.
