Re: Inserting a fake extended radio source

Hi Mark,

The problem is that I need to generate a fake radio halo(diffuse and extended) which does not have a gaussian profile. Unfortunately I do not have any image of this fake halo. My goal is to test that If I could recover any radio halo with the common brightness profile for detected radio halos known so far( which is not gaussian) in my galaxy clusters. I know the analytical form of the brightness profile.

Do you think I can change the code myself to generate the visibilities?

Thanks,
Sara
