PHASES High Precision Differential Astrometry of delta Equulei
delta Equulei is among the most well-studied nearby binary star systems. Results of its observation have been applied to a wide range of fundamental studies of binary systems and stellar astrophysics.

This paper investigates the degradation of pointing accuracy in the Kunming 40‐m radio telescope due to long‐term equipment aging and environmental disturbances. Conventional linear pointing models are constrained by their linear modeling framework, making it difficult to accurately represent the nonlinear errors induced by temperature, wind speed, and

Optimality of the Maximum Likelihood estimator in Astrometry
The problem of astrometry is revisited from the perspective of analyzing the attainability of well-known performance limits (the Cramer-Rao bound) for the estimation of the relative position of light-emitting (usually point-like) sources on a CCD-like ...

Uncertainties in Historic Visual Double Star Measures—III Accurate Calibration Pairs
ABSTRACT Based on space‐based positions and proper motions, we present accurate rectilinear elements for 857 double star pairs over the celestial sphere. These elements allow for the computation of precision ephemeris Position Angles and Separations of these pairs.

An Efficient Method for Measuring the Color of a Natural Satellite with Astrometric Applications
The Gaia DR3 catalog released in 2022 contains precise broadband photometry for more than one billion stars in the G , BP, and RP passbands, which is very useful for calibrating the differential color refraction (DCR) effect in ground-based observations.

Initial Scientific Results from Phase-Referenced Astrometry of Sub-Arcsecond Binaries [PDF]
The Palomar Testbed Interferometer has observed several binary star systems whose separations fall between the interferometric coherence length (a few hundredths of an arcsecond) and the typical atmospheric seeing limit of one arcsecond.

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 ...

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution
Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...
