Planetary Radio Interferometry and Doppler Experiment (PRIDE) of the JUICE mission
Leonid I. Gurvits, Giuseppe Cimo, Dominic Dirkx +20
Planetary Radio Interferometry and Doppler Experiment (PRIDE) is a multi-purpose experimental technique aimed at enhancing the science return of planetary missions. The technique e…
Detecting the oscillation and propagation of the nascent dynamic solar wind structure at 2.6 solar radii using VLBI radio telescopes
Maoli Ma, Guifre Molera Calves, Giuseppe Cimo +29
Probing the solar corona is crucial to study the coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. However, the transient and inhomogeneous solar wind flows carry large-amplitude inhere…
Very Long Baseline Interferometry with the SKA
Zsolt Paragi, Leith Godfrey, Cormac Reynolds +79
Adding VLBI capability to the SKA arrays will greatly broaden the science of the SKA, and is feasible within the current specifications. SKA-VLBI can be initially implemented by pr…
VLBI Tracking of the JUICE Mission: Two Years of Cruise Phase Operations and Performance Analysis
Oliver James White, Guifre Molera Calves, Jasper Edwards +2
The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in April 2023, represents one of the most ambitious deep space exploration endeavours ta…
The relationship between Class I and Class II methanol masers at high angular resolution
Tiege P. McCarthy, Simon P. Ellingsen, Maxim A. Voronkov +1
We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) to make the first high resolution observations of a large sample of class~I methanol masers in the 95-GHz (--A$^…
Planetary radio interferometry and Doppler experiment as an operational component of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission
Vidhya Pallichadath, Dominic Dirkx, Marie S. Fayolle +9
We present an overview of the operations and engineering interface for Planetary Radio Interferometry and Doppler Experiment (PRIDE) radio astronomy observations as a scientific co…
Spacecraft VLBI and Doppler tracking: algorithms and implementation
Dmitry A. Duev, Guifre Molera Calves, Sergei V. Pogrebenko +3
We present the results of several multi-station Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) experiments conducted with the ESA spacecraft Venus Express as a target. To determine the t…
The nature of gamma ray blazar candidate PMN J1326-5256
Hayley Bignall, Giuseppe Cimo, David Jauncey +3
A comparison of AGN detected at gamma ray energies by EGRET with flat-spectrum radio sources observed in surveys for intraday variability reveals that a remarkably high fraction of…
Contribution of PRIDE VLBI products to the joint JUICE-Europa Clipper moons' ephemerides solution
Marie S. Fayolle, Dominic Dirkx, Giuseppe Cimo +3
In the coming decade, JUICE and Europa Clipper radio-science will yield the most accurate estimation to date of the Galilean moons' physical parameters and ephemerides. JUICE's PRI…
