• Unless an antenna
resolves the a strong source, its size is largely irrelevant!
• The sensitivity of
the VLA is no better than FASR for sources unresolved by the antennas.
• The VLA
will be more sensitive than FASR for quiet Sun studies (but this does not mean that FASR cannot do
excellent QS studies)
We should choose our antenna size(s) based on sampling in the uv plane and
consideration of QS studies
(at high frequencies).
