Source structure effects in VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS) observations

, 2022
VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS) is now regularly observing to produce the best geodetic VLBI data ever, with a thermal noise level of about 3 ps. However, the systematic errors due to angular structure of the radio sources are becoming prominent in these high-precision VGOS observations.

Prospective study of high geodetic resolution to future VGOS reference point determination

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2019
The fast slewing rate and wide band of the VLBI2010 Global Observing System (VGOS) telescopes are beneficial to procure more observations and to obtain VLBI reference points (RPs) of high precisions.

Optimizing VGOS observations using an SNR-based scheduling approach

Earth, Planets and Space
The geodetic and astrometric very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) community is in the process of upgrading its existing infrastructure with the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS). The primary objective of VGOS is to substantially boost the number of

The Australian mixed-mode observing program. [PDF]

J Geod, 2022
Global geodetic VLBI is upgrading to its next-generation observing system, VGOS. This upgrade has turned out to be a process over multiple years, until VGOS reaches its full capabilities with the envisaged continuous observations.

First Observations With a GNSS Antenna to Radio Telescope Interferometer

Radio Science, Volume 58, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract We describe the design of a radio interferometer composed of a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) antenna and a Very Long Baseline Interferometry radio telescope. Our eventual goal is to use this interferometer for geodetic applications including local tie measurements.

Baseline Vector Repeatability at the Sub‐Millimeter Level Enabled by Radio Interferometer Phase Delays of Intra‐Site Baselines

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 128, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Abstract We report the results of position ties for short baselines at eight geodetic sites based on phase delays that are extracted from global geodetic very‐long‐baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations rather than dedicated short‐baseline experiments.

Impact of Tropospheric Ties on UT1‐UTC in GNSS and VLBI Integrated Solution of Intensive Sessions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 127, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) intensive (INT) sessions are critical for the rapid determination and densification of Universal Time 1‐Coordinate Universal Time (UT1‐UTC), which plays an important role in satellite geodesy and space exploration missions and is not predictable over longer time scales.

Measuring the Deflection of the Vertical via Local Reference Point Surveying and Pointing Calibration of a VLBI Telescope: A Case Study at the Urumqi Station

Earth and Space Science, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2021., 2021
Abstract According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the movement of matter and the change in density cause a gravitational variation. Due to the anisotropic distribution of matter, the vertical and the normal directions at a point on the ground are probably inconsistent, which is referred to as the deflection of the vertical (DOV) and is ...

The Role of Spatial Gradient on Vertical Total Electron Content Extraction From Geodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry Observation: Case Study CONT08 to CONT17‐L1

Space Weather, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Geodetic very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations are carried out, with the legacy system, using two well‐separated frequency bands in order to determine first‐order ionospheric delay corrections corresponding to the combined effect of total electron content (TEC) at two stations forming a baseline.

Imaging VGOS Observations and Investigating Source Structure Effects

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 126, Issue 4, April 2021., 2021
Abstract The next‐generation, broadband geodetic very long baseline interferometry system, named VGOS, is being developed globally with an aim to achieve 1 mm accuracy for station positions. Currently, the systematic errors in VGOS broadband delays are still about 20 ps.
