Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) have emerged as one of the most enigmatic phenomena in modern astrophysics, characterized by their millisecond-duration flashes of extreme luminosity originating from cosmological distances. Despite significant progress in the field, the exact nature and progenitors of FRBs remain elusive. Our group has made substantial advancements in the precise localization of FRBs usin

The European VLBI Network (EVN) has been used in geodesy mode at K band for the purpose of determining the geodetic positions of non-geodetic EVN telescopes (i.e. without S/X receivers). The work was initiated within the context of the EC-funded JUMPING JIVE project (2017-2021). For this purpose, a number of high-quality sources spread over the sky and belonging to the third realization of the Int

The launch of the Gaia mission has paved a way to millisecond-scale optical position measurements, reaching and exceeding accuracy attainable by radio VLBI. These advances do not make radio astrometry obsolete. Instead, multiwavelength measurements open fundamentally new opportunities, impossible with either VLBI or Gaia alone. In this talk, I will explore these opportunities and implications for

Project Hephaistos recently identified seven M-dwarfs as possible Dyson Spheres (DS) candidates. We cross-matched the sources in archival radio survey catalogues and found that three of these candidates (A, B & G) have radio counterparts. The radio sources are offset from the Gaia stellar positions by ∼ 4.9, ∼ 0.4 and ∼ 5.0 arcseconds (candidates A, B, and G respectively). We proposed (Tongt
