Pulsar astrometry by using VLBI (PSR0329 between Kashima 26mPhi and Usuda 64mPhi)

Communications Research Laboratory (CRL) carried out a VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometer) experiment of the Pulsar 0329 plus 54 on November in 1992 between Kashima 26mPhi and Usuda 64mPhi. We got a correlation for it by using K-3 VLBI correlator which was developed by CRL. Though we observed a slow pulsar this time, we are going to make millisecond pulsar experiments by making good use of this result and by using K-4 correlator which is under developing in CRL. Its result will give us precise positions and proper motions of pulsars which are useful for obtaining precise pulsar timing.

Millisecond pulsar observation system at CRL

Millisecond pulsars have attracted attention as future reference clocks in place of present atomic clocks. The Communications Research Laboratory (CRL) has been developing an observation system to measure the pulse timing of a millisecond pulsar precisely, and has recently completed the basic part of the task. We observed PSR1937+21 at 1.5GHz band and got a pulse timing with a precision of 16 micro sec/tau by five days of observation.

Development of hydrogen masers for K-3 VLBI system

Two field operable hydrogen masers were developed for the VLBI joint experiment conducted by the cooperation between RRL and NASA. They are now playing an important role as the time and frequency standard of the K-3 VLBI system, which has also been developed by RRL.
