Sentences with phrase «baseline radio interferometry»

Not long ago I came across a piece in the Scientific American archives from the earliest days of very - long baseline radio interferometry, the technique employed by the Event Horizon Telescope.

Not exact matches

The observatory includes three radio telescopes for Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), which receive radio waves emitted by quasars.

Currently, the best measurements of those variables come from a system called very - long - baseline interferometry (VLBI), which uses radio dishes spaced across Earth to stare at quasars — brilliant beacons in the distant universe that occasionally flicker.

MRI is used to image tissues deep within the human body and tells us whether we might suffer from an illness, while atomic clocks are extremely precise timekeepers used for GPS, internet synchronization, and long baseline interferometry in radio - astronomy.

The four new telescopes will form part of the worldwide network of radio telescopes known as VGOS (Very Long Baseline Interferometry 2010 Global Observing System).

In particular, VLBI (very long baseline interferometry) uses a global network of radio telescopes spread across different continents to form a virtual Earth - sized telescope.

2000 V. Tudose (Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy - ASTRON), Z. Paragi (Joint Institute for Very Long Baseline Interferometry in Europe - JIVE), P. Soleri, D.M. Russell, D. Maitra (Amsterdam), F. Lewis (FT), R.P. Fender (Southampton), M.A. Garrett (ASTRON), R.E. Spencer, A. Rushton (Jodrell Bank)

These networks of radio telescopes use sophisticated computer and communication technology called very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) to function as single continent spanning telescopes - the greatest eyes - on - the - sky ever created.

This telescope observes as a space - based radio telescope, but also can be used with other radio telescopes on Earth for what is called Space Very Long Baseline Interferometry.

However, by combining high - frequency radio telescopes around the world, in a technique called very long baseline interferometry, or VLBI, even such a tiny feature is in principle detectable.

Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) is a technique used by radio astronomers to electronically link widely separated radio telescopes together so they work as if they were a single instrument with extraordinarily sharp «vision,» or resolving power.

The technique of combining radio waves, known as very long baseline interferometry, is common enough in radio astronomy.

Thanks to recent distance measurements with an international network of radio telescopes, including the EVN (European Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network) telescopes, the NSF's Green Bank Telescope and Arecibo Observatory, astronomers realized that VLA J2130 +12 is at a distance of 7,200 light years, showing that it is well within our own Milky Way galaxy and about five times closer than M15.

Another team, led by scientists from the Joint Institute for Very Long Baseline Interferometry in Europe (JIVE), in Dwingeloo, The Netherlands, will use a world - wide network of radio telescopes, including the NRAO telescopes, to track the probe's trajectory with unprecedented accuracy.

With the technique of very long baseline interferometry, astronomers can hook up radio telescopes, distant from one another in different countries and on continents, to mimic a single «virtual» telescope with an aperture as wide as Earth.

The Ministries of Ghana and South Africa announce the combination of «first light» science observations which confirm the successful conversion of the Ghana communications antenna from a redundant telecoms instrument into a functioning Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) radio telescope.

The satellite is part of an international collaboration led by ISAS and backed by Japan's National Astronomical Observatory; NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, CA; the National Science Foundation's National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), Socorro, NM; the Canadian Space Agency; the Australia Telescope National Facility; the European VLBI Network and the Joint Institute for Very Long Baseline Interferometry in Europe.

Very long baseline interferometry is a technique used by radio astronomers to electronically link widely separated radio telescopes together so they work as if they were a single instrument with extraordinarily sharp «vision,» or resolving power.

Although super small, this angular size can actually be resolved by astronomical observations using an interferometric technique at radio wavelengths, called Very Long Baseline Interferometry or VLBI (see here for details).
