Circumstellar masers
Circumstellar masers are unique tools for probing the envelopes around low mass dying stars using VLBI. In this contribution I briefly review the status of our knowledge on these emissions, especially focusing on the latest results obtained by means of VLBI observations. I also outline some of the new windows that will open for VLBI maser research thanks to the upcoming new instrumentation.
متن کاملApproaching the event horizon: 1.3mmλ VLBI of SgrA*
Advances in VLBI instrumentation now allow wideband recording that significantly increases the sensitivity of short wavelength VLBI observations. Observations of the supermassive black hole candidate at the center of the Milky Way, SgrA*, with short wavelength VLBI reduces the scattering effects of the intervening interstellar medium, allowing observations with angular resolution comparable to ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution radio observations of X-ray binaries
I present an overview of important results obtained using high-resolution very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of X-ray binary systems. These results derive from both astrometric observations and resolved imaging of sources, from black holes to neutron star and even white dwarf systems. I outline a number of upcoming developments in instrumentation, both new facilities and ongo...
متن کاملVLBI وسیله ای برای اندازه گیری جابه جایی پوسته سطح کره زمین
بیشتر از 25 سال از تاریخ توسعه و اجرا روش فضایی به نام اندازه گیری طولهای مبنایی با استفاده از روش تداخل امواج (Baseline Interferometry VLBI= Very Long) می گذرد این روش امکان اندازه گیری حرکات پوسته زمین را به روش غیرمعمول فراهم نموده است. VLBI توانایی منحصر به فردی برای تعیین قالب مبنای اینرسی و برای اندازه گیری توجیه زمین ایجاد می کند. تغییرات در توجیه زمین در فضای اینرسی ناشی از دو موض...
متن کاملPrecision VLBI astrometry: Instrumentation, algorithms and pulsar parallax determination
This thesis describes the development of DiFX, the first general–purpose software correlator for radio interferometry, and its use with the Australian Long Baseline Array to complete the largest Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) pulsar astrometry program undertaken to date in the Southern Hemisphere. This two year astrometry program has resulted in the measurement of seven new pulsar par...
