High resolution radio astronomy using very long baseline interferometry
REVIEW ARTICLEEnno Middelberg1 and Uwe Bach2
Show affiliationsVery long baseline interferometry, or VLBI, is the observing technique yielding the highest-resolution images today. Whilst a traditionally large fraction of VLBI observations is concentrating on active galactic nuclei, the number of observations concerned with other astronomical objects such as stars and masers, and with astrometric applications, is significant. In the last decade, much progress has been made in all of these fields. We give a brief introduction to the technique of radio interferometry, focusing on the particularities of VLBI observations, and review recent results which would not have been possible without VLBI observations.
