SST Anywhere—A Portable Solution for Wide Field Low Earth Orbit Surveillance
The low-Earth orbit (LEO) is filled with active satellites, but also with space debris, which need constant observation. The orbiting objects may be affected by collisions or by atmospheric drag, and therefore they can change their orbit or even fall to ...

Relativity in Astrometry [PDF]
The coordinate dependence of the definition of light deflexion is discussed and the concepts of “natural” and “proper” reference frame are introduced in order to derive astrometric observables from coordinate quantities. Confusion in published formulations of VLBI data analysis is discussed in the context of the IAU definition of the coordinate time ...

Photographic zenith tubes observations to improve HIPPARCOS proper motion in declination of some stars [PDF]
A procedure of calculation and results of an attempt to improve proper motions in declination for some HIPPARCOS stars are presented. A long series of optical observations of these stars observed with Photographic Zenith Tubes (PZT) are used.

Digitization of the Belgrade Astronomical Observatory's vertical circle observational heritage [PDF]
The aim of the paper is to present the digitization of the results of last observations of bright stars made by the Belgrade vertical circle ASKANIA N±80118 (D = 190 mm, f = 2578 mm) at the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade.

Astrometry in the Future [PDF]
AbstractThe introduction of the extragalactic reference frame and the availability of the Hipparcos and Tycho catalogs will have major impacts on changing the accuracy levels of astrometry in the future.There is a need for accurate densification of the reference frames down to at least 20thmagnitude.

The history of astrometry [PDF]
The history of astrometry, the branch of astronomy dealing with the positions of celestial objects, is a lengthy and complex chronicle, having its origins in the earliest records of astronomical observations more than two thousand years ago, and extending to the high accuracy observations being made from space today.

Observational data and orbits of the asteroids discovered at the Baldone Observatory in 2015–2018
This paper is devoted to the discovery of 37 asteroids at the Baldone Astrophysical Observatory (MPC 069) from 2015 to 2018, and one of dynamically interesting Mars-crosser (MC) observed at the Baldone Astrophysical Observatory, namely 2008 LX16.

On 20 December 2020, after more than 2 years of quiescence at Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaiʻi, renewed volcanic activity in the summit crater caused boiling of the water lake over a period of ∼90 min. The resulting water‐rich, electrified plume rose to 11–13 km

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

This article is devoted to the discovery of comets at the Vilnius Observatory together with the orbital analysis of dynamically interesting comets, namely 322P. We studied the orbital evolution of comet 322P with and without non-gravitational effects. It
