«For the onboard measurements to be meaningful, we needed to develop a model that predicted the arrival times using ground - based observations provided
by our collaborators at
radio telescopes around the world,» said Paul Ray, a SEXTANT co-investigator with the U. S. Naval Research Laboratory.
Next month, astronomers will harness
radio telescopes across the globe to create the equivalent of a single Earth - spanning dish — an instrument powerful enough, they hope, to image black holes backlit
by the incandescent gas swirling
around them.
The IAA award citation notes that the VSOP team «realized the long - held dream of
radio astronomers to extend those baselines into space,
by observing celestial
radio sources with the HALCA satellite, supported
by a dedicated network of tracking stations, and arrays of ground

around the world.»

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.
Astronomers using
radio telescopes in New Mexico and California have discovered a giant, rotating disk of material
around a young, massive star, indicating that very massive stars as well as those closer to the size of the Sun may be circled
by disks from which planets are thought to form.

around a young star has been detected
by an international team of astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Very Large Array
radio telescope.

by the GROWTH team from 18
telescopes around the world.
