== Theoretical Noise ==
Use Tsys spectrum for computing theoretical noise in image.
== Visibility Weights ==
Use Tsys spectrum for determining weights in image formation.
== Primary Beam ==
Check and, if necessary, correct usage of primary beam models in invert. Make sure variation with frequency is taken into account for mosaic case. Amount of time needed will increase if current code is not handling this correctly. Should check linmos, mossdi and mosmem as well, hopefully they share the primary beam code...
== Multi Frequency Synthesis ==
Add a spectral curvature term (2nd order term) to MFS imaging. At present the average flux and a spectral index are handled. For 2-4 GHz bandwidth we may require higher order terms to model the sources in a typical field, especially at the lower frequencies. Some research is required to determine whether this is indeed a limiting factor in high dynamic range imaging and how much improvement can be expected.

== Questions ==
 * If we split the UV data into dozens of files all separately calibrated, what is the max. number of UV data files invert will accept?
 * We could just glue all the pieces together for spectral line data, but what about the continuum multifrequency synthesis case?
