mm-VLBI Memo Series

VLBI at Millimeter Wavelengths

Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at millimeter wavelengths becomes progressively more challenging as the wavelength gets shorter. Demands on the stability of the frequency standards grow more stringent, the sensitivity of available telescopes and receivers grows poorer, the need for good weather grows more acute, the phase fluctuations due to the atmosphere grow more severe, and in many cases, the strength of the target sources on the sky grows less. The scientific reward is ever increasing angular resolution, and the ability to observe phenomena inaccessible to any other technique.
