MEM and CLEAN Imaging of VLBA Polarisation Observations of Compact Active Galactic Nuclei

The Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) for the deconvolution of radio interferometry images is mathematically well based and presents a number of advantages over the usual CLEAN deconvolution, such as appreciably higher resolution.

Description
Summary:The Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) for the deconvolution of radio interferometry images is mathematically well based and presents a number of advantages over the usual CLEAN deconvolution, such as appreciably higher resolution. The application of MEM for polarisation imaging remains relatively little studied. CLEAN and MEM intensity and polarisation techniques are discussed in application to recently obtained 18cm VLBA polarisation data for a sample of Active Galactic Nuclei. : From the proceedings of Beamed and Unbeamed Gamma-Rays from Galaxies, April 11-15, 2011, Muonio, Finland. 6 pages, 3 figures
