Astrometry and Cosmology [PDF]
, 1974 For reference purposes, the earth’s surface at sea level may be represented by revolving an ellipse of eccentricity, e, and major axis, a e, about the polar axis. The flattening factor, f, or ellipticity, is related to the eccentricity, e,by the equation $${e^2} = 2f - {f^2}$$ (5-1) , The flattening factor is alternatively called the ...

What is Astrometry? What are its objectives and its place in astronomy? By what means these goals are achieved? These are the questions that we are answering in this chapter before entering into the detailed description of the basic techniques of astrometry.

The Physics Teacher, 2021
A question for science teachers during the pandemic is: how do we actively engage students in science, given that in-person instruction will be limited at best? One lesson I use for my solar system course involves naked-eye observations of positions of celestial objects. Such activities train students to take careful measurements, keep detailed records,

In Sect. 1.2, various objectives of astrometry were presented. Then, in subsequent chapters, the most effective Earth-based and space astrometric instruments in use were described. The question which now arises is: to what extent do they fulfil the above goals and what are the astronomical and astrophysical problems that require further advances in ...

Results from a rigourous Astrometry method in optical astrometry
200338 optical counterparts of ICRF sources were observed and positions were deduced using stars extracted from different catalogues (USNO B1.0, USNO A2.0, GSCII...). These positions were compared to the ICRF positions, and to other published positions of the same optical counterparts.
