Fig. 8

Left panel: “Dirty” image of Virgo A resulting from the combination of 10 OTF scans achieved with the multi-feed K-band array at a frequency of 19 GHz and a bandwidth of 2 GHz. Close to the source the dynamic range is limited to ~ 30, due to the strong secondary lobes. Right panel: CLEANed image restored with a circular Gaussian with FWHM of 57′′. The measured surface brightness RMS sensitivity is now 1.3 mJy/beam and the dynamic range increases to 11 300. In both panels, contours start from 3σ and increase by a factor of . Due to the high dynamic range the color map has been saturated to highlight the faint emission of the extended lobes of the radio source. In the bottom left corner of both panels the footprint on sky of the K-band multi-feed receiver is shown. The size of each feed corresponds to the restoring beam.
