ngVLA: Astrometry and Long Baseline Science [GA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1810.06577


Recent advances in VLBI have led to astrometric accuracy exceeding that of the Gaia mission goals. This chapter describes some important astrophysical problems that can be addressed with sub-milliarcsecond imaging and micro-arcsecond astrometry using the ngVLA with long baselines.
