The Solar Probe Cup on Parker Solar Probe
Anthony W. Case, Justin C. Kasper, Michael L. Stevens +18
The Solar Probe Cup (SPC) is a Faraday Cup instrument onboard NASA's Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft designed to make rapid measurements of thermal coronal and solar wind plasm…
Reference Array and Design Consideration for the next-generation Event Horizon Telescope
Sheperd S. Doeleman, John Barrett, Lindy Blackburn +26
We describe the process to design, architect, and implement a transformative enhancement of the Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT). This program - the next-generation Event Horizon Te…
Atmospheric limitations for high-frequency ground-based VLBI
Dominic W. Pesce, Lindy Blackburn, Ryan Chaves +10
Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) provides the highest-resolution images in astronomy. The sharpest resolution is nominally achieved at the highest frequencies, but as the o…
