Advanced Topics in Calibration and Imaging for Radio Astronomy

This lecture on "Advanced topics in Calibration and Imaging" by Nirupam Roy is part of the "Radio Cosmology and Continuum Observations in the SKA Era: A Synergic View" program hosted by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Explore advanced calibration and imaging techniques essential for radio astronomy research, particularly in preparation for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope set to begin operations in 2027. The presentation addresses sophisticated methods required for processing radio telescope data, which are crucial skills for researchers working in radio cosmology and continuum science. This knowledge is particularly valuable for advanced Masters and PhD students, Postdocs, and Early Career Researchers interested in SKA-related research. The lecture is delivered as part of a comprehensive two-week program that combines expert discussions with hands-on training to prepare the next generation of radio astronomers for the challenges and opportunities presented by the world's largest radio telescope project.
