The need for stimulating global geodetic measurements with southern observatories served as a powerful motivation to launch the Southern Intensive (SI) program in 2020. The competitiveness of these SI sessions with routinely operated Intensive sessions has now been demonstrated in a paper published in Earth, Planets and Space.

On June 30, 2022, Jakob Gruber successfully defended his PhD thesis on Raw Data Simulation and Correlation of VLBI data. After the presentation of his thesis, Jakob withstood the difficult questions from Axel Nothnagel, Jamie McCallum and Johannes Böhm. Congratulations and thanks for the nice party in Hof3! @tu_wien @geodepartment @j_boehm72  

On June 20, the excursion to the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell organised by the Vienna VLBI Group took place. This year, 34 students and 7 staff members participated in the trip to the Bavarian Forest. At the observatory, we were able to inspect three VLBI antennas, two SLR/LLR systems, many GNSS antennas and a DORIS beacon. […]

What a nice Christmas present: the paper on the ICRF3 is finally published in A&A: https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202038368 . Wien is very happy and honored to have been part of this great achievement! @IVS_OOC @tu_wien

Do not miss the December 2020 issue of the IVS Newsletter! @IVS_OOC It features the Celestial Reference Frame with great interviews by “CRF veterans”. It also introduces the joint Operation Center by Wettzell, Zürich, and Wien. https://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/publications/newsletter/issue58.pdf 

Matthias will leave TU Wien with the end of September 2020, starting at ETH Zürich (Space Geodesy group of Benedikt Soja) on October 1. Matthias, it was a pleasure having you at TU Wien, we wish Laura and you all the best for the future, and we are looking forward to a close co-operation between […]

We are very glad to have a new member in the Vienna VLBI group: Frederic Jaron. He is an experienced VLBI-ler with a background in astrophysics and interest in a wide variety of VLBI topics. Among other topics, he will look into source structure effects in VGOS observations.

This year’s edition of the VieVS Days was held online as webinar from September 14 to 15. While the first day was devoted to the VLBI module of the Vienna VLBI and Satellite Software (VieVS) with lectures by Helene on single session analysis and Sigrid on global solutions, Matthias focused on the scheduling package VieSched++ […]

While visiting his family in Vienna, Benedikt Soja stopped by for a chat at TU Wien. He also took the chance and talked to Matthias Schartner who will start in Benedikt’s group on space geodesy at ETH Zürich on October 1, 2020. Definitely, a close co-operation between our groups is guaranteed.
