Astrometry with PRAIA [PDF]

open access: yesPlanetary and Space Science, 2023
PRAIA - Package for the Reduction of Astronomical Images Automatically - is a suite of astrometric and photometric tasks designed to cope with huge amounts of heterogeneous observations with fast processing, no human intervention, minimum parametrization and yet maximum possible accuracy and precision.

Precise radio astrometry and new developments for the next generation of instruments [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2020
We present a technique-led review of the progression of precise radio astrometry, from the first demonstrations, half a century ago, until to date and into the future. We cover the developments that have been fundamental to allow high accuracy and precision astrometry to be regularly achieved. We review the opportunities provided by the next-generation

Astrometry of circumstellar masers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The circumstellar masers around evolved stars offer an interesting possibility to measure stellar parameters through VLBI astrometry. In this paper the application of this technique is discussed, including the accuracy and the uncertainties of the method.

ELSA and the frontiers of astrometry [PDF]

open access: yesEAS Publications Series, 2010
ELSA stands for the ambitious goal of `European Leadership in Space Astrometry'. In this closing contribution I will examine how the ELSA network has advanced this goal. I also look ahead to the time when the Gaia data will be published and consider what needs to be done to maintain European leadership.

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.

SQUAB—I: The First Release of Strange QUasar Candidates With ABnormal Astrometric Characteristics From Gaia EDR3 and SDSS

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Given their extremely large distances and small apparent sizes, quasars are generally considered as objects with near-zero parallax and proper motion.
