Atmosphere-Corrected Phase-Referencing

چکیده
One major problem of phase-referencing VLBI observations are phase errors due to the unknown tropospheric zenith delay at each antenna. These errors degrade the quality of the phase-referenced image and limit the achievable astrometric accuracy. We will present and compare two independent methods to estimate the zenith delay offset at each antenna. The zenith delay offsets can then be used to correct the data. These corrections improve the quality of the phase-referenced image and an astrometric accuracy of 10 μas can be achieved. With this accuracy, measurements of proper motions in the Local Group become feasible.

ASTRA (ASTrometric and phase-Referencing Astronomy) is an upgrade to the existing Keck Interferometer which aims at providing new self-phase referencing (high spectral resolution observation of YSOs), dual-field phase referencing (sensitive AGN observations), and astrometric (known exoplanetary systems characterization and galactic center general relativity in strong field regime) capabilities....
متن کاملThe phase transition of corrected black hole with f(R) gravity
In this letter, we consider static black hole in f(R) gravity.We take advantage from corrected entropy and temperature and investigate such black hole. Finally, we study the $ P - V $ critically and phase transition of corrected black hole with respect to entropy and temperature. Here also, we obtain the heat capacity for the static black hole in $ f(R) $ gravity. This calculation help us...
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 کاملDigital self-referencing quantitative phase microscopy by wavefront folding in holographic image reconstruction.
A completely numerical method, named digital self-referencing holography, is described to easily accomplish a quantitative phase microscopy for microfluidic devices by a digital holographic microscope. The approach works through an appropriate numerical manipulation of the retrieved complex wavefront. The self-referencing is obtained by folding the retrieved wavefront in the image plane. The fo...

For the work programme BIOTOPMONITORING VIENNA of the Austrian Health Institute, multi-spectral air-borne scanner data have been recorded in the intention of automation supported identification and classification of forests and green urban areas in Vienna. Before multi-spectral and textural image analysis can be performed, the scanner data have to be geometrically rectified (georeferenced) with...
