Table 3, generated by Tony Beasley, gives the
maximum lengths rounded to the nearest km () for
each of the VLBA's 45 internal baselines. Both the upper left and
lower right portions of the table are filled to make it easier to use.
A measure of the corresponding resolution (
) in
milliarcseconds (mas) is
where is the receiver wavelength in cm (Wrobel
1995). A uniformly weighted image made from a long u-v plane
track will have a synthesized beam with a slightly narrower minor axis
FWHM. For the longest VLBA baseline,
ranges from
about 20 to 0.2 mas as the wavelength runs from 90 cm to 7 mm.
