Improving VLBI analysis by tropospheric ties in GNSS and VLBI integrated processing
Tropospheric delay modeling is challenging in high-precision Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) analysis due to the rapid water vapor variation and imperfect observation geometry, where observations from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS ...

Optimizing schedules for the VLBI global observing system
Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) scheduling is a challenging optimization problem. With the development of the new VLBI global observing system (VGOS) consisting of smaller but very fast slewing antennas, new opportunities arise. In this work, we

The Celestial Frame and the Weighting of the Celestial Pole Offsets in the Computation of VLBI-Based Corrections for the Main Lunisolar Nutation Terms [PDF]
Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) is the only technique in space geodesy that can determine directly the celestial pole offsets (CPO). In this paper, we make use of the CPO derived from global VLBI solutions to estimate empirical corrections to ...
