... The Miriad task uvgen can be used to simulate a variety of observing modes. ... Simulating a telescope approximately, let alone in some detail, requires a good many parameters. uvgen takes an appreciable number of parameters and input files to describe the telescope, correlator and source. Fortunately keyword and set-up files for some common situations exist ( e.g. simulating the ATCA and VLA). ... For example, to load typical parameters for the ATCA, use miriad% source $MIRCAT/uvgen.def.atca . ...

... 8, ``Celestial Mechanics'', 2002 Selenodynamical parameters from analysis of LLR observations of 1970--2001 G. A. Krasinsky Institute of Applied Astronomy, St.Petersburg, Russia LLR observations of 1969--2001 are processsed to estimate a set of parameters of the Earth--Moon system. The dynamical model accounts for effects of elasticity of the lunar body, tidal dissipation in the Moon, and friction coupling between the lunar mantle and its fluid core. ...
