Sessions description
Session 1: Technology
This session focusses on the ongoing VLBI technology development, in particular for the upcoming VGOS network.
Contributions concerning technical development like e.g. feed horns, backends, recording systems, data transfer,
correlation, automation are encouraged.
Session 2: Observations
This session covers recent activities and future plans at VLBI stations, networks, correlators and data centers.
Contributions concerning e.g. the improvement of VLBI observations, installation of VGOS equipment, local tie
vector determination, but also scheduling and simulation, are encouraged.
Session 3: Analysis
This session aims at contributions on the analysis of VLBI data, both for geodesy and astrometry, and the derived results.
Contributions concerning e.g. earth rotation, the terrestrial reference frame, the celestial reference frame, the CONT17
campaign, are encouraged.
