What are the current calibration
capabilities in AIPS++?

At this time, AIPS++ can solve for a wide range of uv-plane effects, including electronic gain (Gi), mean atmospheric tranmission (Ti), instrumental polarization response (Di), and the bandpass response (Bi). Parallactic angle effects (Pi), and feed configuration (Ci) corrections are pre-computed. The primary beam voltage and polarization response can be corrected in the image-plane ( Ei$ \left(\vphantom{\underline{\rho}_k}\right.$$ \underline{{\rho}}_{k}^{}$$ \left.\vphantom{\underline{\rho}_k}\right)$ Di$ \left(\vphantom{\underline{\rho}_k}\right.$$ \underline{{\rho}}_{k}^{}$$ \left.\vphantom{\underline{\rho}_k}\right)$), but not yet solved for.

Synthesis calibration support is most mature for connected-element observations; fringe-fitting capabilities are currently being developed and added. Both self-calibration and cross-calibration are supported.

Synthesis calibration is under active development in AIPS++ with new features added on a regular basis.
