초록

The multi-band receiving feed which is one of the unique characteristics of the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) system compare to the other VLBI network enables to study precise astrometry with a source frequency phase referencing (SFPR) techniques. SFPR almost perfectly compensates the dominant non-dispersive tropospheric fluctuations by observing sources with multi-frequency simultaneously, and it also corrects the dispersive ionospheric fluctuations by adding a slow source-switching observation. In this talk, I will present the results from the KVN astrometric observations with SFPR and the achievable astrometric accuracy in KVN will be discussed.
