Write a brief summary of the data reduction and its outcomes} : This was a full VLBA+Y dataset, originally in dual-polarization. It was necessary to flag the RL,LR, and RR hands, which contained no useful visibility data. Could not find good solutions to TZ for 23h25-23h38. #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Section 2 : Pre-AIPS Checklist #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- {PI letter retrieved (yes/no)} : NO {Data quality reports and plots retrieved?
