Primary beam calibration for commensal telescopes utilizing offset optics

Primary beam calibration for commensal telescopes utilizing offset optics

IntroductionAccurate primary beam calibration is essential for precise brightness measurements in radio astronomy. The VLA Low-band Ionosphere and Transient Experiment (VLITE) faces challenges in calibration due to the offset Cassegrain optics used in its commensal observing system. This study aims...
