Calibration error for CABB

Post by saracmbr »

Hi everyone,

I need to calculate the total flux error for my detected sources. I know the local rms noise but I need to have calibration error for CABB and pre-CABB to calculate the total flux error. Does anybody have any experience about this issue?

Cheers,
Sara

Hi Sara,

It depends a bit on frequency and the weather at the time of your observation, but 5-10% is a reasonable starting number.

See http://atcaforum.atnf.csiro.au/viewtopic.php?p=373#p373 for more discussion on this.

Cheers,

Mark
