Source Structure Errors in Radio-Interferometric Clock Synchronization for Ten Measured Distributions

J.B. Thomas

Abstract:	Source structure can introduce errors in radio interferometry measurements whenever natural radio sources are used. To increase our understanding of this problem, an analysis previously applied to analytical cases has been extended to the brightness distributions measured for ten extragalactic sources. The results of this analysis are presented along with an approach for avoiding the largest structure errors.
