Trigonometric parallax and proper motion of Sagittarius A* measured by VERA using the new broad-band back-end system OCTAVE-DAS
Tomoaki Oyama, Takumi Nagayama, Aya Yamauchi +12
We successfully measured the trigonometric parallax of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) to be micro-arcseconds (as) using the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) with…
The First Very Long Baseline Interferometry Image of 44 GHz Methanol Maser with the KVN and VERA Array (KaVA)
Naoko Matsumoto, Tomoya Hirota, Koichiro Sugiyama +58
We have carried out the first very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) imaging of 44 GHz class I methanol maser (7_{0}-6_{1}A^{+}) associated with a millimeter core MM2 in a massiv…
The First VERA Astrometry Catalog
VERA collaboration, Tomoya Hirota, Takumi Nagayama +59
We present the first astrometry catalog from the Japanese VLBI (very long baseline interferometer) project VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry). We have compiled all the ast…
VLBI observations of bright AGN jets with KVN and VERA Array (KaVA): Evaluation of Imaging Capability
Kotaro Niinuma, Sang-Sung Lee, Motoki Kino +69
The Korean very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) network (KVN) and VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) Array (KaVA) is the first international VLBI array dedicated to hi…
A Balloon-Borne Very Long Baseline Interferometry Experiment in the Stratosphere: Systems Design and Developments
Akihiro Doi, Yusuke Kono, Kimihiro Kimura +33
The balloon-borne very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) experiment is a technical feasibility study for performing radio interferometry in the stratosphere. The flight model has…
VLBI Detections of Parsec-Scale Nonthermal Jets in Radio-Loud Broad Absorption Line Quasars
Akihiro Doi, Noriyuki Kawaguchi, Yusuke Kono +19
We conducted radio detection observations at 8.4 GHz for 22 radio-loud broad absorption line (BAL) quasars, selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Third Data Release, by…
A Radio Detection Survey of Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies using Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry at 22 GHz
Akihiro Doi, Tomoaki Oyama, Yusuke Kono +4
We conducted a high-sensitivity radio detection survey for forty narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies using very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) at 22 GHz through phase-refere…
Verification of the Effectiveness of VSOP-2 Phase Referencing with a Newly Developed Simulation Tool, ARIS
Yoshiharu Asaki, Hiroshi Sudou, Yusuke Kono +8
The next-generation space VLBI mission, VSOP-2, is expected to provide unprecedented spatial resolutions at 8.4, 22, and 43GHz. In this report, phase referencing with VSOP-2 is exa…
