Shared-optical-path VLBI frequency phase transfer from 86 to 258 GHz on an 8600 km baseline: Demonstrated with the APEX and IRAM 30 m telescopes

G. -Y. Zhao, A. L. Roy, J. F. Wagner +24

The receiver N3AR operating at a frequency range between 67 and 116 GHz has been commissioned at the APEX telescope in October 2024. This adds a new low-frequency band for APEX, wi…

First frequency phase transfer from the 3 mm to the 1 mm band on an Earth-sized baseline

Sara Issaoun, Dominic W. Pesce, María J. Rioja +33

Frequency Phase Transfer (FPT) is a technique designed to increase coherence and sensitivity in radio interferometry by making use of the non-dispersive nature of the troposphere t…

Serial MultiView: an efficient approach to mitigating atmospheric spatial-structure errors for VLBI astrometry

Jingdong Zhang, Bo Zhang, Shuangjing Xu +4

Atmospheric propagation errors are a main constraint on the accuracy of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) astrometry. For relative astrometry, differential techniques can mi…

Feed rotation corrections for antennas having beam waveguide mounts

Richard Dodson, Maria J. Rioja

We report on the development of new code to support the beam waveguide antenna mount types in AIPS, which will allow polarisation analysis of observations made using these antennas…
