Subtraction of point sources from interferometric radio images through an algebraic forward modelling scheme

We present a method for subtracting point sources from interferometric radio images via forward modelling of the instrument response and involving an algebraic non-linear minimization. The method is applied to simulated maps of the Murchison Wide-field Array but is generally useful in cases where on...
