Link between ghost artefacts, source suppression and incomplete calibration sky models

Calibration is a fundamental step towards producing radio interferometric images. However, naive calibration produces calibration artefacts, in the guise of spurious emission, buried in the thermal noise. This work investigates these calibration artefacts, henceforth referred to as “ghosts”. A 21 cm...
