Microarcsecond Radio Astrometry [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014
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.

Flowdown of the TMT astrometry error budget(s) to the IRIS design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
TMT has defined the accuracy to be achieved for both absolute and differential astrometry in its top-level requirements documents. Because of the complexities of different types of astrometric observations, these requirements cannot be used to specify ...

The Future of Astrometry in Space

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018
This contribution focuses on the importance of astrometry and on its future developments. Over the centuries astrometry has greatly contributed to the advance of the knowledge of the Universe.

Emission-line stars in the LMC: the Armagh survey, and a metacatalogue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
[Aims] Accurate astrometry is required to reliably cross-match 20th-century photographic catalogues against 21st-century digital surveys. The present work provides modern-era identifications and astrometry for the 801 emission-line objects "of stellar ...

Astrometric star catalogues as combination of Hipparcos/Tycho catalogues with ground-based observations [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2004
The successful ESA mission Hipparcos provided very precise parallaxes positions and proper motions of many stars in optical wavelength. Therefore it is a primary representation of International Celestial Reference System in this wavelength.

Recovery of Asteroids from Observations of Too-Short Arcs by Triangulating Their Admissible Regions

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
The data set collected during the night of the discovery of a minor body constitutes a too-short arc (TSA), resulting in failure of the differential correction procedure.

Overview and Status of the International Celestial Reference Frame as Realized by VLBI

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Accurate measurement of angular positions on the sky requires a well-defined system of reference that is realized with accessible objects. The purpose of this study is to review the international standard realization of such a system, the International ...
