Faint objects in motion: the new frontier of high precision astrometry [PDF]
Sky survey telescopes and powerful targeted telescopes play complementary roles in astronomy. In order to investigate the nature and characteristics of the motions of very faint objects, a flexibly-pointed instrument capable of high astrometric accuracy ...

Differential Astrometry over 15 degrees [PDF]
We observed the pair of radio sources 1150+812 and 1803+784 in November 1993 with a VLBI array, simultaneously recording at 8.4 and 2.3 GHz. We determined the angular separation between the two sources with submilliarcsecond accuracy by using ...

Detection of the nearest Jupiter analog in radial velocity and astrometry data [PDF]
© 2019 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society.The presence of Jupiter is crucial to the architecture of the Solar System and models underline this to be a generic feature of planetary systems.

LISA Galactic Binaries with Astrometry from Gaia DR3 [PDF]
Galactic compact binaries with orbital periods shorter than a few hours emit detectable gravitational waves (GWs) at low frequencies. Their GW signals can be detected with the future Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA).

Polarimetry and astrometry of NIR flares as event horizon scale, dynamical probes for the mass of Sgr A* [PDF]
We present new astrometric and polarimetric observations of flares from Sgr A* obtained with GRAVITY, the near-infrared interferometer at ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), bringing the total sample of well-covered astrometric flares to ...

Dissecting the stochastic gravitational wave background with astrometry [PDF]
Astrometry, the precise measurement of star motions, offers an alternative avenue to investigate low-frequency gravitational waves through the spatial deflection of photons, complementing pulsar timing arrays reliant on timing residuals.

High-precision Astrometry and Photometry with the JWST/MIRI Imager [PDF]
Astrometry is one of the main pillars of astronomy, and one of its oldest branches. Over the years, an increasing number of astrometric works by means of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data have revolutionized our understanding of various phenomena.

Astrometry and Photometry for ≈1000 L, T, and Y Dwarfs from the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey [PDF]
We present the positions, proper motions, and near-infrared photometry for 966 known objects with spectral types later than M that were observed as part of the the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey (UHS).

Mass distribution in the Galactic Center based on interferometric astrometry of multiple stellar orbits [PDF]
The stars orbiting the compact radio source Sgr A* in the Galactic Centre are precision probes of the gravitational field around the closest massive black hole.
