The reduction techniques

The data were reduced with AIPS, the NRAO image processing system. To improve the dynamic range of the maps we have used the technique of CLEAN and Self-calibration. This last algorithm can only be used if the signal to noise ratio is high enough. The final maps were made after two Self-calibration iterations with phase corrections only and one last iteration with both phase and amplitude corrections (only if this improved the dynamic range).
