UV SMOOTH Algorithm

 

                                   

RHESSI rotating modulation collimators generate Fourier components (real and imaginary parts) in a series of circles in the uv-plane.  Making images with uv_smooth consists of:

  1. interpolating the visibilities in the uv-plane,
  2. reconstructing the image of the source by means of a Fast Fourier Transform inversion,
  3. reducing the ringing effects by imposing a positivity constraint.
