technology in radio astronomy and geodesy. In partnership with Thoth Technology Inc., our team of leading radio astronomers will (i) develop new capabilities to compress, transport, and process large amounts of data between geographically distinct locations to enable real-time VLBI, and (ii) use this capability to make precise astrometric measurements of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) and pulsars, and through their scintillation properties, study their local environments. The program will have several far-reaching benefits. Scientifically, advances to VLBI will improve the precision of pulsar localization by orders of magnitude and allow for a systematic spatial localization of FRBs. The project will also position Canada's Algonquin Radio Observatory as the nexus of a new, low-frequency, global VLBI network and Thoth Technology as one of the world's premier VLBI providers to large-scale, international telescopes. More far-reaching still, next-generation VLBI will underpin the high-precision geodetic reference frame upon which autonomous vehicles will rely. As such, advances to VLBI could profoundly impact nearly every aspect of our economy, from engineering and construction to transportation and precision agriculture.

射电天文学和大地测量学技术。通过与Thoth Technology Inc.的合作，我们的领先射电天文学家团队将(i)开发新的能力来压缩、传输和处理地理位置不同的大量数据，以实现实时VLBI，以及（ii）利用这种能力对快速射电暴（frb）和脉冲星进行精确的天文测量，并通过它们的闪烁特性研究它们的当地环境。
