A VLBI Software Correlator for Fast Radio Transients

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
One major goal in fast radio burst science is to detect fast radio bursts (FRBs) over a wide field of view without sacrificing the angular resolution required to pinpoint them to their host galaxies.

Quantitative analysis of the tropospheric delay difference using empirical mapping functions on VLBI stations

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Tropospheric delay is a major error source for the high-accuracy Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique due to rapid water vapor variations. The Niell mapping function (NMF) and Global Mapping Function (GMF) are extensively applied to convert

Prospects of Predicting the Polar Motion Based on the Results of the Second Earth Orientation Parameters Prediction Comparison Campaign

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 11, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Growing interest in Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) resulted in various approaches to the EOP prediction algorithms, as well as in the exploitation of distinct input data, including the observed EOP values from various operational data centers and modeled effective angular momentum functions.

Basic Earth's Parameters as estimated from VLBI observations

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2017
The global Very Long Baseline Interferometry observation for measuring the Earth rotation's parameters was launched around 1970s. Since then the precision of the measurements is continuously improving by taking into account various instrumental and ...

Investigating a continental Australian VGOS VLBI intensive for UT1-UTC determination

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space
In this simulation study, we investigate the potential performance of VLBI Intensives using the AuScope 12-metre VLBI network. This continental Australian network consisting of three stations, has recently been fully upgraded with VGOS receivers and has ...

Spectral index evolution of the limb-brightened jet in 3C 84

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Relativistic jets launched by active galactic nuclei are fundamental for understanding the physics of accreting supermassive black holes and their immediate environment, but the mechanisms that drive the jet launching remain uncertain. We investigate the

Parallaxes and Proper Motions of Long Period Variable Stars Determined from VLBI and Gaia DR3

open access: yesGalaxies
Annual parallaxes of Galactic long period variable stars (LPVs) are essential for determining their distances and intrinsic properties, but their measurement remains challenging because of their large stellar sizes, circumstellar matter, and time ...

Effects of Earth’s Oblateness on Black Hole Imaging through Earth–Space and Space–Space Very Long Baseline Interferometry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Earth-based very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) has made rapid advances in imaging black holes. However, due to the limitations imposed on terrestrial VLBI by the Earth’s finite size and turbulent atmosphere, it is imperative to have a space-based ...
