The Accuracy of Ground-Based Optical Interferometry Observations
The problem of wide-angle astrometry via interferometry is to recover the two coordinates for each star from the observed delays. In the absence of atmospheric turbulence, the geometrical delay can be dened as: dG;ij(t) dj(t) di(t) = Bij(t) ŝ0 Cij . Here the geometrical delay is the di erence between the delay line lengths di and dj that is required to equalize the e ective optical paths from t...
متن کاملVLBI observations of CygnusA with sub-milliarcsecond resolution
We present new images of the two-sided VLBIstructure of the radio galaxy CygnusA at 1.6GHz, 22GHz and 43GHz. The maps show the jet and counter-jet of CygnusA on scales from ∼ 400 to 0.1 milliarcseconds, corresponding to projected sizes of ∼ 300 pc to 0.07 pc. Our best 22GHz image shows a small (few degree) misalignment of the VLBI-jets with the kpc-jets, longitudinal oscillations of the jet’s r...
متن کاملtask-based instruction, consciousness-raising and iranian efl learners acquisition and use of collocation
the present study sought to examine whether a task-based approach could have an impact on raising awareness of collocations. moreover, it sought to investigate the facilitative role of consciousness-raising tasks of collocations in the communicative instances of use. to this end, 68 intermediate learners of english were selected via a placement test. the participants were taught with classroom ...
15 صفحه اولLunar Occultations of Stars with Exoplanet Candidates
We investigate the potential of lunar occultations for the detection of very faint companions, and in particular for the possibility of detecting extrasolar planets. We review the basic concepts of the method, and discuss the quantities which are relevant for this particular application. The near-infrared range, and in particular the K and L bands (2.2 and 3.6m), ooer the best dynamic range. We...
متن کاملGround-based Optical/Infrared Interferometry: High Resolution, High Precision Imaging
Over the past decade, optical interferometry has demonstrated that its combination of high resolution and high precision can make unique contributions to astrophysics. Interferometers have grown in aperture size, baseline length, number of apertures, and spectral resolution. At the same time, methods to circumvent the limitations of interferometry are being introduced. Further increases in sens...
