The third and final day of the VieVS days was devoted to the analysis of VGOS sessions as demonstrated by Markus and the presentation of the VieVS baseband simulator by Jakob. The first VieVS days in our new home – the Freihaus – went very well and will certainly find continuation in 2020.

The second day of the VieVS days is dedicated to scheduling with VieSched++. Matthias explains the intricacies of scheduling with his easy-to-use software package.

Also a big thanks to today’s lecturers Sigrid Böhm, Helene Wolf, and Johannes Böhm. We had some really interesting exercises and fruitful discussions during […]

Jakob, Jamie and Johannes used the chance and visited the Vienna Scientific Cluster 4 (VSC-4) where we will use 10 private nodes for VLBI correlation. We are still waiting for the storage to get started.

On September 10, 2019, Markus Mikschi presented his bachelor thesis on the integration of length-of-day values for the determination of UT1. Depending on the calibration, it is possible to achieve an accuracy of 40 microseconds after a week. It should also be noted here, that his presentation was the last one in our “old meeting […]

On 22 August 2019, four colleagues from the Beijing Aerospace Control Center (BACC) visited us at TU Wien to inform each other about research focus points and to discuss possible future co-operation activities.

In June 2019, the Vienna Scientific Cluster 4 was powered on. This is very good news, because we will have 10 private nodes (480 cores in total) and 1 PByte of storage for correlation activities. Also the Standard (Austrian newspaper) reports about VSC4.
