Astronomers have discovered an invisible object with a mass of about one million Suns that doesn’t fit any known cosmic structure. Using gravitational lensing and data from radio telescopes around the world, including the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), and the European VLBI Network (EVN)—the team revealed a compact core (likely [...]
SPECTRUM is a Horizon Europe project bringing together leading organisations from Radio Astronomy, High-Energy Physics and e-Infrastructure providers to define a shared vision for a European compute and data continuum. As part of this effort, the draft versions of two main SPECTRUM outputs are now open for feedback: Strategic Research, Innovation and Deployment Agenda (SRIDA) [...]
VLBI proposals for observing at 3mm wavelength (86 GHz) using: the VLBA, APEX, GBT*, EFFELSBERG, IRAM-30m, NOEMA, ONSALA, METSAEHOVI, YEBES and KVN telescopes should be submitted using the NRA Porposa Submission Tool (PST) by 04 FEBRUARY 2026 (UT 22:00)Successful proposals will be considered for scheduling in GMVA Session II 2026 (24-29 September) or in a [...]
The call for observing proposals with the European VLBI Network (EVN) is now open - non-expert teams are especially welcome! Highlights: 4 Gbps recording is becoming the default for continuum projects Regular (non-triggered) e-VLBI projects are very welcome (limited to 2 Gbps)! MeerKAT will be available for EVN observations on a best-effort basis starting session 1/2026. A tied-array beam and the local interferometer data [...]
