Tycho Astrometry and Photometry [PDF]
The HIPPARCOS Star Mappers were designed to determine the satellite attitude by observation of stars with known positions. ESA has now enhanced them so that the continuous photon counts from two photo multipliers with B and V response will be recorded.

Macho Photometry and Astrometry [PDF]
MACHOs (Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Objects) have been discovered by their relativistic amplification of light from distant stars as they crossed very near to the line-of-sight. The very few events were detected from more than a billion photometric measurements of millions of stars in the LMC.

Review of asteroid, meteor, and meteorite‐type links
Abstract With the goal to determine the origin of our meteorites in the asteroid belt, video and photographic observations of meteors have now tracked 75 meteorite falls. Six years ago, there were just hints that different meteorite types arrived on different orbits, but now, the number of orbits (N) is high enough for distinct patterns to emerge.

Detection of the nearest Jupiter analogue in radial velocity and astrometry data [PDF]
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. We find the detection of the difference between the position and motion recorded by the contemporary ...

Micro-Arcsecond Radio Astrometry
Astrometry provides the foundation for astrophysics. Accurate positions are required for the association of sources detected at different times or wavelengths, and distances are essential to estimate the size, luminosity, mass, and ages of most objects ...

ABSTRACT The discovery of radio‐quiet, x‐ray thermally emitting isolated neutron stars (XINSs) in the ROSAT All‐Sky Survey revealed a previously overlooked component of the neutron star population. Advancements in x‐ray instrumentation and the availability of deep, wide‐area optical surveys now enable us to explore XINSs at fainter x‐ray fluxes and ...

Detecting dark photon dark matter with Gaia-like astrometry observations [PDF]
A class of dark photon dark matter models with ultralight masses would lead to oscillation of a test body through a coupling with baryons or B−L charge. This periodical oscillation of an observer results in swing of a star's apparent position due to the ...

We evaluated the prospects of quantifying the parameterized post-Newtonian parameter beta and solar quadrupole moment J2 with observations of near-Earth asteroids with large orbital precession rates (9 to 27 arcsec century$^{-1}$). We considered existing

High precision measurements of the celestial coordinates of pulsars are desirable for a number of reasons. If carried out at several epochs, the measurements can yield angular proper motions; together with distance estimates based on dispersion measure, the proper motion of a pulsar reveals two of three components of its space velocity, and ...
