Bayesian self-calibration and imaging in very long baseline interferometry [PDF]
Self-calibration methods with the CLEAN algorithm have been widely employed in very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) data processing in order to correct antenna-based amplitude and phase corruptions present in the data.

Jet kinematics of the quasar 4C+21.35 from observations with the KaVA very long baseline interferometry array [PDF]
We present the jet kinematics of the flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) 4C+21.35 using time-resolved KaVA very long baseline interferometry array radio maps obtained from 2014 September to 2016 July.

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
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.

Very long baseline interferometry observation of the triple AGN candidate J0849+1114 [PDF]
Context. In the hierarchical structure formation model, galaxies grow through various merging events. Numerical simulations indicate that mergers can enhance the activity of central supermassive black holes in galaxies. Aims.

Peering into the formation history of β Pictoris b with VLTI/GRAVITY long-baseline interferometry [PDF]
Context. β Pictoris is arguably one of the most studied stellar systems outside of our own. Some 30 yr of observations have revealed a highly-structured circumstellar disk, with rings, belts, and a giant planet: β Pictoris b. However very little is known

A scalable high-performance magnetic shield for very long baseline atom interferometry. [PDF]
We report on the design, construction, and characterization of a 10 m-long high-performance magnetic shield for very long baseline atom interferometry. We achieve residual fields below 4 nT and longitudinal inhomogeneities below 2.5 nT/m over 8 m along ...
