Astrometry and Exoplanets: the Gaia Era, and Beyond [PDF]
, 2010 The wealth of information in the Gaia catalogue of exoplanets will constitute a fundamental contribution to several hot topics of the astrophysics of planetary systems. I briefly review the potential impact of Gaia micro-arsec astrometry in several areas of exoplanet science, discuss what key follow-up observations might be required as a complement to ...

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994 VLBI is at present the most accurate technique for measuring radiosource positions and the only method capable of high precision for a reasonable number of sources. The applications of VLBI astrometry in stellar, Galactic and extra-Galactic regimes are reviewed.

The value of astrometry for exoplanet science [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Exoplanets mass measurements will be a critical next step to assess the habitability of Earth-like planets: a key aspect of the 2020 vision in the previous decadal survey and also central to NASA's strategic priorities. Precision astrometry delivers measurement of exoplanet masses, allowing discrimination of rocky planets from water worlds and enabling

The principle of measuring unusual change of underground mass by optical astrometric instrument
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2012 Optical observations from a ground-based astrometric instrument provide a unique set of data sensitive to variations of local plumb line, which represent the change of local gravitational field on the ground.

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1981 The 35-km interferometer at NRAO was used at 2.7 GHz during 1974–1979 to determine pulsar proper motions. Observations from each epoch were reduced to pseudo-position vector offsets which include both unknown, and constant, absolute position errors for the pulsars and their reference sources, as well as the time-varying proper motion of the pulsars ...

Astrometry during the past 2000 years [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 The satellite missions Hipparcos and Gaia by the European Space Agency will together bring a decrease of astrometric errors by a factor 10000, four orders of magnitude, more than was achieved during the preceding 500 years. This modern development of astrometry was at first obtained by photoelectric astrometry. An experiment with this technique in 1925

The potentially hazardous NEA 2001 BB16
Open Astronomy, 2019 We computed the impact solutions of the potentially dangerous Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) 2001 BB16 based on 47 optical observations from January 20.08316 UTC, 2001, through February 09.15740 UTC, 2016, and one radar observation from January 19.90347 UTC ...

Astrometry with Small Telescopes [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1986 At the Quonochontaug Observatory of the University of Rhode Island, we specialize in the development of simple seeing limited optical telescopes. Our main instrument is a heavy Serrier trussed f/10.7, .4-m astrometric reflector which provided the last-minute astrometry in the successful prediction of the occultation of SAO 120774 by Herculina in 1978 ...
