Description
Source structure introduces a systematic error in VLBI observations on a per-source basis. We have developed a software tool that takes models of the brightness distribution to correct the interferometric phases of the DiFX correlator output. We have tested our method by applying it to observational VGOS data. Here we present our results concerning the effect on imaging the corrected data, the impact on closure delays, and a full geodetic analysis of group delay databases.
