DiFX: A Software Correlator for Very Long Baseline Interferometry Using Multiprocessor Computing Environments
We describe the development of an FX-style correlator for very long baseline interferometry (VLBI), implemented in software and intended to run in multiprocessor computing environments, such as large clusters of commodity machines (Beowulf clusters) or computers specifically designed for high-performance computing, such as multiprocessor shared-memory machines. We outline the scientific and pra...
متن کاملRecent developments of the SFXC software correlator
The SFXC software correlator has become the primary correlator for the EVN. Due to its nature a software correlator is much more flexible than a hardware solution, greatly simplifying the development of new correlator features. SFXC offers a number of new features which were not previously available to EVN users. These new features include: Pulsar binning and gating, multiple simultaneous phase...
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 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 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...
