Assessment of the Earth orientation parameter accuracy from concurrent VLBI observations

Leonid Petrov, Christian Ploetz, Matthias Schartner

We have assessed accuracy of estimates of Earth orientation parameters (EOP) determined from several very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observing programs that ran concurrent…

Testing General Relativity with geodetic VLBI: what profit from a single, specially designed experiment?

Oleg Titov, Anastasiia Girdiuk, Sebastien Lambert +15

Context. We highlight the capabilities of the geodetic VLBI technique to test General relativity in the classical astrometric style, i.e., measuring the deflection of light in the…

Testing of General Relativity with Geodetic VLBI

O. Titov

The geodetic VLBI technique is capable of measuring the Sun's gravity light deflection from distant radio sources around the whole sky. This light deflection is equivalent to the c…
