Uncertainties in Ground‐Based Visual Double Star Measures—II Accuracy of Measures

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Letchford and White 2025, Paper I, determined the uncertainties in ground‐based historic measures of double stars. In this paper, the accuracy of 26,205 ground‐based measures of 857 visual double stars, made since ∼$$ \sim $$1780, is determined relative to space‐based measures based on positions and proper motion from the HIPPARCOS (via ASCC ...

A Refined Astrometric Approach Based on the Precision Premium and its Application to the Jupiter’s Satellite Himalia

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Since the advent of Gaia catalog, positional precision of a ground-based telescope can be greatly improved by correction of more subtle errors, including positional biases induced by atmospheric turbulence, and some instrumental factors such as geometric

The Power of (Near) Simultaneous Multi-Frequency Observations for mm-VLBI and Astrometry

open access: yesGalaxies, 2017
Simultaneous or near-simultaneous observations at multiple frequency bands have the potential to overcome the fundamental limitation imposed by the atmospheric propagation in mm-VLBI observations.

Deep Space Network Radio Science and Ground‐Based Planetary Radar in the Next Decade

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 60, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The Deep Space Network (DSN) has been a core operational element of NASA's crewed and robotic exploration of the Solar System since the early 1960s. The primary role of the DSN has been to acquire telemetry and navigation data, but over the years, its radiometric and radar capabilities have expanded to form a system for obtaining unique ...

Stellar occultations enable milliarcsecond astrometry for Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
Context. Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs are remnants of our planetary system formation, and their physical properties have invaluable information for evolutionary theories.

Simulation of CSST’s astrometric capability

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
Introduction: The China Space Station Telescope (CSST) will enter a low Earth orbit around 2024 and operate for 10 years, with seven of those years devoted to surveying the area of the median-to-high Galactic latitude and median-to-high Ecliptic latitude

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses VIII. Deconvolution of high resolution near-IR images and simple mass models for 7 gravitationally lensed quasars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We apply the iterative MCS deconvolution method (ISMCS) to near-IR HST archives data of seven gravitationally lensed quasars currently monitored by the COSMOGRAIL collaboration: HE 0047-1756, RX J1131-1231, SDSS J1138+0314, SDSS J1155+6346, SDSS J1226 ...

The Slow‐Rotating Nucleus of Comet C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy)

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 5, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The close approach of comet C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy) allowed us to conduct an in‐depth study of the morphology of the inner coma. From the measurement of the dust emission structures expanding near the cometary nucleus in November–December 2013, we derived a slow rotation period of 47.8±1.2$$ 47.8\pm 1.2 $$ h.

Bound Orbits and Epicyclic Motions around Renormalization Group Improved Schwarzschild Black Holes

open access: yesUniverse, 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.
