Obtaining Local‐Tie Vectors From Short‐Baseline Interferometry Between Legacy S/X and VGOS Telescopes at Ny‐Ålesund

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, September 2026.
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.

Cross‐Polarization Gain Calibration of Linearly Polarized VLBI Antennas by Observations of 4C 39.25

Radio Science, Volume 59, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract Radio telescopes with dual linearly polarized feeds regularly participate in Very Long Baseline Interferometry. One example is the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS), which is employed for high‐precision geodesy and astrometry. In order to achieve the maximum signal‐to‐noise ratio, the visibilities of all four polarization products are ...

Prototype System for Unmanned Reference Point Determination at the Sub‐Millimeter Level

Earth and Space Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract The determination of reference points for telescopes is crucial for obtaining the local‐tie vector for a multi‐technology co‐located station. Traditional methods suffer from labor‐intensive fieldwork, long execution cycles, and systematic errors due to the incident angle of the total station's laser beam on the prism. In this paper, we propose

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
