... The most powerful and widely used methods to calculate the scattering matrix of a fractal cluster are based on the coupled dipoles methods (e.g. the Discrete Dipole Approximation, DDA) and the theory of light scattering by a cluster of spherical particles [2-4]. ... At present the procedure of calculation of the scattering matrix is well developed for both an oriented cluster of spherical particles and for chaotically oriented clusters of such particles [4]. ...

This ASKAP data release includes a spectral-line simulation. This was created in the following way: * The SKADS S3-SAX simulation (Obreschkow et al 2009) was used as the source catalogue from which a sky model image was created. This sky model was used as input into a telescope simulation. ... There is a new model cube that has the same input catalogue, but reproduced at the same pixel scale as the image, and smoothed with a 30 arcsec beam. ...
