Uniform disk V2 model-fit


The following simulation features a simple 1-parameter model fit of a series of visibilities. It is assumed that the object can be modeled as a uniform disk. The question is: what is its angular diameter. In the right panel below are plotted the values of squared visibilities measured using the uv-coverage featured in the left panel.

Use the slider to find the uniform-disk model best fit to the data.



Uniform disk angular diameter: mas (milli-arc second)
