Very Long Baseline Interferometry [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights of Astronomy, 1989
The technique of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) has undergone two decades of steady growth and refinement since its inception in 1967. In the beginning, only crude measurements of visibility on single baselines were possible. Now 18-station arrays have been used to produce images with dynamic ranges exceeding 2000:1; relative motions of ...

A New Very Long Baseline Interferometry Method Based on the Uplink Signal

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) is widely used for astronomical observations and navigation of deep space receivers. To solve the problems of the downlink signal being excessively weak to be received and the excessively large acquisition time, a

Selective Dynamical Imaging of Interferometric Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022
Recent developments in very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) have made it possible for the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) to resolve the innermost accretion flows of the largest supermassive black holes on the sky.

Inverse MultiView. II. Microarcsecond Trigonometric Parallaxes for Southern Hemisphere 6.7 GHz Methanol Masers G232.62+00.99 and G323.74–00.26

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the first results from the Southern Hemisphere Parallax Interferometric Radio Astrometry Legacy Survey: 10 μ as accurate parallaxes and proper motions for two Southern Hemisphere 6.7 GHz methanol masers obtained using the inverse MultiView ...

Single-band VLBI Absolute Astrometry

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The ionospheric path delay impacts single-band, very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) group delays, which limits their applicability for absolute astrometry.

Three-dimensional Orbit of AC Her Determined: Binary-induced Truncation Cannot Explain the Large Cavity in This Post-AGB Transition Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Some evolved binaries, namely post–asymptotic giant branch (AGB) binaries, are surrounded by stable and massive circumbinary disks similar to protoplanetary disks found around young stars. Around 10% of these disks are transition disks: they have a large

Horizonless Spacetimes As Seen by Present and Next-generation Event Horizon Telescope Arrays

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We study the capabilities of present and future radio very long baseline interferometry arrays to distinguish black holes from horizonless spacetimes. We consider an example of a horizonless spacetime, obtained by overspinning a regular black hole.

Key Science Goals for the Next-Generation Event Horizon Telescope

open access: yesGalaxies, 2023
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has led to the first images of a supermassive black hole, revealing the central compact objects in the elliptical galaxy M87 and the Milky Way.

Demonstrating Photon Ring Existence with Single-baseline Polarimetry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Images of supermassive black hole accretion flows contain features of both curved spacetime and plasma structure. Inferring properties of the spacetime from images requires modeling the plasma properties, and vice versa.

The SFXC software correlator for Very Long Baseline Interferometry: Algorithms and Implementation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In this paper a description is given of the SFXC software correlator, developed and maintained at the Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe (JIVE). The software is designed to run on generic Linux-based computing clusters.
