Abstract

I briefly discuss the development of a difference imaging algorithm in radio interferometry and its implications for the TKP. Independent deconvolution with subsequent subtraction is not an option, because difference images produced in this way would be dominated by deconvolution errors. A multi-channel adaption of CLEAN is a viable alternative. The availability of powerful deconvolution techniques for variable sources may also be of relevance for other fields of research.
