Some Astronomical Applications of Cross-Correlation Techniques [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1965 Cross-correlation techniques have been used for many years to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of a wide variety of analogue and digital data. A large literature describing these methods exists, and many clever applications have been developed (see ...

The Calibration of the 35–40 GHz Solar Radio Spectrometer with the New Moon and a Noise Source
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Calibrating solar radio flux has always been a concern in the solar community. Previously, fluxes were calibrated by matching load or the new Moon for relative calibration, and at times with the assistance of other stations’ data. Moreover, the frequency

The Transformational Power of Frequency Phase Transfer Methods for ngEHT
Galaxies, 2023 (Sub) mm VLBI observations are strongly hindered by limited sensitivity, with the fast tropospheric fluctuations being the dominant culprit. We predict great benefits from applying next-generation frequency phase transfer calibration techniques for the ...
