Bayesian Source Discrimination in Radio Interferometry [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1807.01719


Methods currently in use for locating and characterising sources in radio interferometry maps are designed for processing images, and require maps to be preprocessed in such a way as to resemble images. We demonstrate a Bayesian method that takes into account the visibility data despite working with more manageable data products. This method proves to be more capable of discriminating nearby sources than the commonly used SExtractor, and shows potential even in the more complicated analysis.
