A practical preconditioner for wide-field continuum imaging of radio interferometric data

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2021-01-21 v1

Abstract

The celebrated CLEAN algorithm has been the cornerstone of deconvolution algorithms in radio interferometry almost since its conception in the 1970s. For all its faults, CLEAN is remarkably fast, robust to calibration artefacts and in its ability to model point sources. We demonstrate how the same assumptions that afford CLEAN its speed can be used to accelerate more sophisticated deconvolution algorithms.
