Using Small Radio Telescopes for Very Long Baseline Interferometry
Throughout the summer development has continued on the next generation of the Small Radio Telescope for use as a Very Long Baseline Interferometry type interferometer. This paper discusses the difficulties with setting up this new interferometer and presents some results obtained using this small radio telescope interferometer. We used 3 small radio telescopes to form one baseline of about 5 me...
متن کاملVery Long Baseline Interferometry and the VLBAASP
Phase-referencing allows phase calibration of VLBI data. Using regular observations of a nearby calibrator source, delay, delay-rate, and phase corrections can be derived and their eeects removed from the target source visibility data. This technique allows imaging much weaker objects than is possible via fringe-tting methods. We examine the main types of phase error in VLBI observations (geome...
متن کاملGeodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) :
A brief Note compiled by: Prof. Madhav N. Kulkarni, IIT Bombay Since the inception of the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) system in 1967, this radio interferometry technique has revolutionised the fields of geodesy, geodynamics and astrometry. With the unprecedented precision and resolution made possible by VLBI various tasks such as geodetic positioning, reference frames interconnect...
متن کاملVery Long Baseline Interferometry and the VLBAASP
The special problems encountered when performing spectral-line VLBI observations are discussed in this Chapter. In particular, the usefulness of Fourier transforming measured visibility data with respect to time, delay or frequency for purposes of fringe detection and calibration is clariied.
متن کاملX-ray Interferometry: Ultra High Resolution Astronomy
X-rays have tremendous potential for imaging at the highest angular resolution. The high surface brightness of many xray sources will reveal angular scales heretofore thought unreachable. The short wavelengths make instrumentation compact and baselines short. We discuss how practical x-ray interferometers can be built for astronomy using existing technology. We describe the Maxim Pathfinder and...
