Dirty Beam Shape <strong>and</strong> Weighting<br />

• “Robust” (Briggs) weighting<br />

– variant of “uniform” that avoids giving too much<br />

weight to cell with low natural weight<br />

– an adjustable parameter that allows for<br />

continuous variation between highest angular<br />

resolution <strong>and</strong> optimal point source sensitivity<br />

– large threshold → natural weighting<br />

– small threshold → uniform weighting<br />

– robust ~ 0 to 1 gives good results<br />
