Milky Way Star Clusters and Gaia: A Review of the Ongoing Revolution
Universe, 2022 The unprecedented quality of the astrometric measurements obtained with the ESA Gaia spacecraft have initiated a revolution in Milky Way astronomy. Studies of star clusters in particular have been transformed by the precise proper motions and parallaxes ...

Determination of Orbital Elements and Ephemerides using the Geocentric Laplace’s Method
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 This paper presents a methodology for Initial Orbit Determination (IOD) based on a modification of the Laplace’s geocentric method. The orbital elements for Near-Earth asteroids (1864) Daedalus, 2003 GW, 2019 JA8, a Hungaria-type asteroid (4690 ...

Bound Orbits and Epicyclic Motions around Renormalization Group Improved Schwarzschild Black Holes
Universe, 2022 We study timelike particles’ bound orbits around renormalization group improved Schwarzschild black holes (RGISBHs), which originate from renormalization group improvement of the Einstein–Hilbert action by using the running Newton constant.

Il Nuovo Cimento B, 2005 General relativistic effects in astrophyiscal systems have been detected thanks to accurate astrometric measurements. We outline some keystones of astrometry such as stellar aberration (argument development during the years 1727-1872); Mercury's perihelion precession (1845-1916); solar disk oblateness (1966-2001); relativistic light deflection (1916 ...

VERA’s 20 yr Evolution in Science and Technology
GalaxiesWe review the past 20 yr evolution of VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) in both science and techinology. VERA is a VLBI array in Japan which consists of four 20 m-diameter telescopes, originally dedicated to phase-referencing VLBI astrometry ...

Space astrometry with the Joint Milliarcsecond Astrometry Pathfinder [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009 AbstractThe Joint Milliarcsecond Astrometry Pathfinder Survey (JMAPS) is a small, space-based, all sky, visible wavelength, astrometric and photometric survey mission for 0ththrough 14thI-band magnitude stars with a planned 2013 launch. The primary objective of the JMAPS mission is the generation of an astrometric star catalog with 1 milliarcsecond ...

Commission 8: Astrometry [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005 AbstractThis triennial report from Commission 8 covers astrometry-related matters for objects ranging from Solar system bodies out to Milky Way stars and QSOs at cosmological distances. This enormous range of distances is needed to establish, maintain, and improve the metric of the visible Universe--a very challenging effort since everything is moving.

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Isochrones, equal‐age curves, are widely used in astrophysics to estimate stellar ages. Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age‐dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information.
