Software and Techniques for VLBI Data Processing and Analysis

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) is a challenging observational technique, which requires in-depth knowledge about radio telescope instrumentation, interferometry, and the handling of noisy data.

Pixelization and dynamic range in radio interferometry [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2008
This study investigates some of the consequences of representing the sky by a rectangular grid of pixels on the dynamic range of images derived from radio interferometric measurements. In particular, the effects of image pixelization coupled to the CLEAN deconvolution representation of the sky as a set of discrete delta functions can limit the dynamic ...

Technical Constraints on Interstellar Interferometry and Spatially Resolving the Pulsar Magnetosphere

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Scintillation of pulsar radio signals caused by the interstellar medium can in principle be used for interstellar interferometry. Changes in the dynamic spectra as a function of pulsar longitude were in the past interpreted as having spatially resolved ...

Residual Entropy as a Diagnostic and Stopping Metric for CLEAN

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We propose the use of entropy, measured from the spatial and flux distribution of pixels in the residual image, as a potential diagnostic and stopping metric for the CLEAN algorithm.

Bayesian source discrimination in radio interferometry [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Methods currently in use for locating and characterising sources in radio interferometry maps are designed for processing images, and require interferometric maps to be preprocessed so as to resemble conventional images. We demonstrate a Bayesian code - BaSC - that takes into account the interferometric visibility data despite working with more ...

ANALYSIS OF DUAL-FREQUENCY INTERFEROMETRY APPLICABILITY FOR TARGET ELEVATION ANGLE MEASUREMENT USING TWO-COORDINATE RADARS [PDF]

open access: yesRadio Physics and Radio Astronomy, 2023
Subject and Purpose. The study deals with the dual-frequency radio interferometry technique, which is based on the employment of two fairly close frequencies with the aim to remove ambiguity of the radar target elevation estimation using 2D-radar and ...

On the RFI Detection in Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can image the ground with a wide area and high resolution at all times and in all weather and has become an important means of remote sensing.

The Potsdam Open Source Radio Interferometry Tool (PORT) [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2021
Abstract The Potsdam Open Source Radio Interferometry Tool (PORT) is the very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) analysis software developed and maintained at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. Chiefly, PORT is tasked with the timely processing of VLBI sessions and post-processing activities supporting the generation of ...

Testing of the transionospheric radiochannel using data from the global GPS network

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2003
Using the international ground-based network of two-frequency receivers of the GPS navigation system provides a means of carrying out a global, continuous and fully-computerized monitoring of phase fluctuations of signals from satellite-borne ...
