We have carried out 43-GHz VLBI test observations of the Korean VLBI Network (KVN), which has obtained the first fringes at 22/43-GHz in 2009 (a talk by Sohn, Bong Won). In collaboration with VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) in Japan, we have observed Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) and Orion-KL at 43GHz on 22nd and 23rd December, 2009, in order to evaluate the baseline- and image-sensitivity of KVN and KVN+VERA. In this talk we report the preliminary results of the VLBI test observations of the Korean VLBI Network at 43GHz.

We have carried out VLBI test observations of the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) at 22/43-GHz in collaboration with Japanese VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA). In order to evaluate the VLBI system of KVN, we have observed several sources using KVN+VERA. They consist of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), which are expected to be compact and to have very well-known structures at spatial resolutions of 50-250 Mega-wavelengths, and Galactic star-forming regions and late-type stars, which have bright H2O and SiO maser emission regions. We have investigated baseline and imaging sensitivities of KVN+VERA. In this talk we report the preliminary results.

e-VLBI was invented to enhance the efficiency of VLBI (Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry) system by transmitting the data via high speed network. Korean VLBI Network (KVN) has a plan to construct e-VLBI system named e-KVN. High speed backbone network and efficient network model are essential to implement successful e-VLBI system. This paper introduces a network model based on PC cluster technology. The present status of high speed backbone network in Korea is overviewed. We suggest that the network link via Korea Advanced Research Network (KOREN) is one of feasible way for e-KVN. We also describe the principles of e-VLBI and protocol for network transmission such as VSI-E (VLBI Standard Interface - Electronic), RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol) and RTCP (Real-Time Transport Control protocol).

This paper presents the results of one of early sciences with Korean VLBI Network (KVN): a large fringe survey of compact radio sources at 43GHz. We established the catalog of correlated flux densities in three ranges of baseline projection lengths of 637 sources from a 43 GHz (Q-band) survey observed with the Korean VLBI Network. Of them, 623 sources have not been observed before at Q-band with VLBI. The goal of this work in the early science phase of the new VLBI array is twofold: to evaluate the performance of the new instrument that operates in a frequency range of 22--129 GHz and to build a list of objects that can be used as targets and as calibrators. We have observed the list of 799 target sources with declinations down to $-40{\circ}$. Among them, 724 were observed before with VLBI at 22 GHz and had correlated flux densities greater than 200 mJy. The overall detection rate is 78%. The detection limit, defined as the minimum flux density for a source to be detected with 90% probability in a single observation, was in a range of 115--180 mJy depending on declination. However, some sources as weak as 70 mJy have been detected. Of 623 detected sources, 33 objects are detected for the first time in VLBI mode. We determined their coordinates with the median formal uncertainty 20 mas. The results of this work set the basis for future efforts to build the complete flux-limited sample of extragalactic sources at frequencies 22 GHz and higher at 3/4 of the celestial sphere.

2009년부터 2010년에 걸쳐 22 및 43GHz 대역에서의 KVN 단일경 시험관측이 이루어졌다. KVN 관측소는 연세대학교, 울산대학교, 탐라대학교에 위치하고 있으며, 시험관측의 주된 내용은 안테나 지향모델 구축, 22/43 GHz 빔 정렬, 이득곡선 측정 및 안테나 효율측정 등이다. 구축된 지향오차의 정밀도는 세 곳의 관측소 모두 rms가 5초 이내였으며, 두 빔도 5초 이내로 정렬되어 있음이 확인되었다. 안테나 효율은 22 및 43GHz에서 모두 60%를 넘는 값을 얻을 수 있었다.
