Commission 8: Astrometry [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005
AbstractThis triennial report from Commission 8 covers astrometry-related matters for objects ranging from Solar system bodies out to Milky Way stars and QSOs at cosmological distances. This enormous range of distances is needed to establish, maintain, and improve the metric of the visible Universe--a very challenging effort since everything is moving.

Precise Distance Measurement for a Near-Earth Asteroid by the Refined Rotational Reflex Velocity Method

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The rotational reflex velocity (RRV) method was proposed by Heinze and Metchev in 2015 and was used to measure the distances of main-belt asteroids (MBAs). Later, Lin et al. generalized this method using spherical astronomy in 2016.
