Photon Ring Astrometry for Superradiant Clouds. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2022
Gravitational atoms produced from the superradiant extraction of rotational energy of spinning black holes can reach energy densities significantly higher than that of dark matter, turning black holes into powerful potential detectors for ultralight ...

Relative Astrometry in an Annular Field [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2022
Background. Relative astrometry at or below the microarcsec level with a 1 m class space telescope has been repeatedly proposed as a tool for exo-planet detection and characterization, as well as for several topics at the forefront of Astrophysics and ...

Photometry and astrometry with JWST -- I. NIRCam Point Spread Functions and the first JWST colour-magnitude diagrams of a globular cluster [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
As the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has become fully operational, early-release data are now available to begin building the tools and calibrations for precision point-source photometry and astrometry in crowded cluster environments.

orvara: An Efficient Code to Fit Orbits Using Radial Velocity, Absolute, and/or Relative Astrometry [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2021
We present an open-source Python package, Orbits from Radial Velocity, Absolute, and/or Relative Astrometry (orvara), to fit Keplerian orbits to any combination of radial velocity, relative astrometry, and absolute astrometry data from the Hipparcos-Gaia

Asteroid astrometry by stellar occultations: Accuracy of the existing sample from orbital fitting [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2022
Context. The technique of stellar occultations, greatly enhanced by the publication of the Gaia data releases, permits not only the determination of asteroid size and shape, but also the retrieval of additional, very accurate astrometry, with a possible ...

A hidden population of high-redshift double quasars unveiled by astrometry [PDF]

open access: yesNature Astronomy, 2021
Galaxy mergers occur frequently in the early Universe1 and bring multiple supermassive black holes (SMBHs) into the nucleus, where they may eventually coalesce.

Precision Millimeter Astrometry of the α Centauri AB System [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2021
Alpha Centauri A is the closest solar-type star to the Sun and offers the best opportunity to find and ultimately to characterize an Earth-sized planet located in its habitable zone.

SQUAB—I: The First Release of Strange QUasar Candidates With ABnormal Astrometric Characteristics From Gaia EDR3 and SDSS

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Given their extremely large distances and small apparent sizes, quasars are generally considered as objects with near-zero parallax and proper motion.

Unresolved stellar companions with Gaia DR2 astrometry [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
For stars with unresolved companions, motions of the centre of light and that of mass decouple, causing a single-source astrometric model to perform poorly.
