In which PAPER sets the standard

Paper Title: A Flux Scale for Southern Hemisphere 21cm EoR Experiments arxiv,data,fits If you look at typical catalogs of sources in the southern hemisphere epoch of reionization band you soon realize why measurements often disagree by 20%.  Even the brightest sources one would use for calibration are uncertain.  As you can see from the plot to …

Title: The precision and accuracy of early Epoch of Reionization foreground models: comparing MWA and PAPER 32-antenna source catalogs This paper compares the fluxes in the first PAPER and MWA catalogs.  These sources are the brightest foregrounds in front of the EoR HI emission.  Various estimates suggest that we have to subtract these guys to anywhere …
