Onsala Space Observatory – IVS Network Station Activities During 2021–2022, in International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry 2021+2022 Biennial Report, edited by K. L. Armstrong, D. Behrend, and K. D. Baver, NASA/TP-20230014975
Report, 2023
During 2021 and 2022 we participated in a total of 81 IVS 24-hour legacy S/X sessions with the Onsala 20-m telescope. We observed in a total of 73 VGOS 24-hour sessions with one or both of the Onsala twin telescopes (OTT) in 2021 and 2022. In total we observed 114 VGOS one-hour Intensive sessions during 2021 and 2022, the majority together with the partner
station Ishioka in Japan, but also five with Kokee Park. More than 50 % of these sessions involved both Onsala twin telescopes.We also performed 22 local interferometry measurements at Onsala during 2021 and 2022 for measuring the local ties between our telescopes that are used for geodetic VLBI. In 2021 we also performed 91 short (20-minute) flux-monitoring sessions with the OTT as a standalone instrument.
