A Concept of Precise VLBI/GNSS Ties with Micro-VLBI
AbstractWe present here a concept of measuring local ties between collocated GNSS and VLBI stations using the microwave technique that effectively transforms a GNSS receiver to an element of a VLBI network. This is achieved by modifying the signal chain that allows to transfer voltage of the GNSS antenna to a digitizer via a coaxial cable.

An Experiment on Radio Location of Objects in the Near-Earth Space with VLBI in 2012
An experiment on radar location of space debris objects using of the method of VLBI was carried out in April, 2012. The radar VLBI experiment consisted in irradiation of some space debris objects (4 rocket stages and 5 inactive satellites) with a signal ...

Astrometric Apparent Motion of High-redshift Radio Sources
Radio-loud quasars at high redshift ( z ≥ 4) are rare objects in the universe and rarely observed with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). But some of them have flux density sufficiently high for monitoring of their apparent position.

VLBI Observations of the Nucleus of Centaurus A [PDF]
VLBI observations of the nucleus of Centaurus A have been made at three southern hemisphere observatories. Since Centaurus A is the nearest active galaxy, VLBI investigations are important because the physical processes in the nucleus can be studied in greater linear detail than in other similar galaxies.

Japanese VLBI Project — Vera [PDF]
The Japanese VLBI project VERA (VLBI for the Earth Rotation study and Astrometry) is being designed. It will be dedicated to regular monitoring of the Earth's rotation and astrometry. VERA will be composed of two antennas spanning about 2300km and a correlator of multi-station capability. The diameters of the antennas are 35m and 15m.

Removing the Effect of Source Structure From Correlated VLBI Data
Abstract Recent studies suggest that in geodetic very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) the assumption of sources being point‐like results in a significant residual error introduced by the effect of source structure. Our aim is to remove the impact of source structure from geodetic VLBI data right after the correlation step. For this purpose, we have

Abstract With the ongoing transition for geodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) from the use of legacy S/X telescopes to the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS), it is necessary to connect the new VGOS network to the existing legacy S/X telescopes.

Space VLBI enables high angular resolution and high dynamic range imaging through an extension of ground-based VLBI. The TDRSS space VLBI experiments in the 1980s were followed by the first space VLBI imaging mission, VSOP, in the 1990s. The new century holds the promise of the VSOP-2 and ARISE missions, which aim for more sensitive, higher angular ...
