Millimeter-VLBI with a Large Millimeter-Array: Future Possibilities

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: ESO Astrophysics Symposia ((ESO))

Abstract

We discuss possibilities and improvements which could be obtained, if a phased array with a large number (N= 50 – 100) of sub-millimeter antennas — like the planned large southern array (LSA) — is used for radio-interferometry with very long baselines (VLBI) at millimeter wavelengths. We find that the addition of such an instrument will push the detection limit and the imaging capabilities of a global mm-VLB-interferometer by 1–2 orders of magnitude.
