Space astrometry with the Joint Milliarcsecond Astrometry Pathfinder [PDF]
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 ...

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

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

COMMISSION 8: ASTROMETRY [PDF]
Gaia is continuing well with its development and construction and is expected to achieve parallax accuracies of about 10 to 300 μas for 6 to 20 mag. It is scheduled to launch in 2013. The ICRF2 was adopted by the IAU in 2009 as the new fundamental celestial reference frame.

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.

The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey
The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey has secured high-quality astro-photometric data in two bands for 34 clusters never observed with HST. When combined with Gaia astrometry, this dataset enables the investigation of the bulk motion and the ...

Halometry from astrometry [PDF]
Halometry---mapping out the spectrum, location, and kinematics of nonluminous structures inside the Galactic halo---can be realized via variable weak gravitational lensing of the apparent motions of stars and other luminous background sources. Modern astrometric surveys provide unprecedented positional precision along with a leap in the number of ...

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 ...

Context. The transition regime between giant planets (GPs) and brown dwarfs (BDs) is still an open subject of study in exoplanetary science. A complete understanding of the population of long-period GPs and BDs would be pivotal for improving our ...
