Notes. The error-free simulation is that of a combined B = 4 observation of the face-on MU200 model with ALMA in configuration C = 20 and with a single-dish. Pointing errors (σα) and thermal noise (σT) may be applied to neither instrument (“No”), to the interferometer only (“ALMA”), or to both interferometer and single-dish (“Both”). Phase noise is specified via the rms atmospheric phase on a 300-m baseline, which can take the values 30° or 45° and can be corrected via water-vapor radiometers (“WVR”).
