A review of an article (refereed paper) where the given instrument is utilized. E.g.

• ALMA
• VLA
• VLBI (ground-based, VLBA, EVN, etc.)
• space-VLBI
• LOFAR
• MERLIN
• SKA
• NoRH
• NRH
• solar spectrographs

A couple of problems for each two-hour lecture. 70% corresponds to credits of one exam problem. 40% corresponds to half of the credits of one problem.

Demonstrations 1
Demonstrations 2
Demonstrations 3

A couple of lectures describing usage, then exercises with real data.

• SSW (Solar data, http://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/surf/sswdoc/)
• CASA (ALMA interferometric data, http://casa.nrao.edu/)

Much of the interferometry basics-related lectures are based on NRAO's excellent lecture series:
