I review the current status of deep, wide-field VLBI continuum surveys. I also discuss anticipated short and long-term improvements in sensitivity (e.g. the eEVN), and the science these developments will enable.

Geodetic and astrometric VLBI has entered a new era with the implementation of the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS). These broadband and dual linear polarization observations aim at an accuracy of station coordinates of 1 mm and a…

We present Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) images of 20 TeV blazars (HBLs) not previously well-studied on the parsec scale. Observations were made between August and December 2013, at a frequency of 8.4 GHz. These observations represent the…

The VLBA was used at 1.6 GHz to observe a target field 50 arcminutes in diameter including the core of M31. Novel VLBI correlation techniques were used to observe 200 sources simultaneously, of which 16 were detected. We classify all 16 as…

Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) is a powerful technique that can achieve sub-milliarcsecond resolution. However, it requires complex and often manual post-correlation calibration to correct for instrumental, geometric, and…
