Point sources vs. extended sources

Aperture sizes are given in Table gif. At 45 m 30% of the diffraction profile falls outside the SWS effective apertures. All calibration and characterization measurements given in this document have been done with extended sources  filling the SWS apertures. For point sources , resolution figures will be slightly better.
