Flux contours of the Cygnus A reconstructions. The surface brightness levels of the contours are logarithmically spaced and range from 1 mly arcsec⁻² to 4.25 × 10⁴ mly arcsec⁻². Top panel: in solid blue resolve reconstruction from Arras et al. (2021a) without direction-dependent calibration. In dashed red resolve reconstruction of this work with direction-dependent calibration. Bottom panel: in solid blue compressed sensing reconstruct of Dabbech et al. (2021) with direction-dependent calibration. In dashed red again resolve reconstruction of this work with direction-dependent calibration.
