Write a brief summary of the data reduction and its outcomes} : This survey observation was carried out as a GOT observation (v030n). Since the source shows a little bit complicated structure from the viewpoint of the visibility, I firstly used a full data set to make a CLEAN image of 0945+408 to make the model. Then I extracted the partial data set to analyze the survey data. I made use of the model which I had alrady made for the model fitting in difmap. #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Section 2 : Pre-AIPS Checklist #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- {PI letter retrieved (yes/no)} : yes {Data quality reports and plots retrieved?
