How does different point source sensitivity (PSS) values influence maser time series

Project Description:

The aim of this project is to use one of the steps in the calibration process for a single-dish telescope to see if by changing the step slightly whether it will result in significant changes in the interpretation of the data. This is specifically applied to the time series of the periodic methanol maser G009.62+0.20E, in order to see if the changes point source sensitivity values will influence the current interpretation of the periodicity.
