Mobile laser scanning elevation data accuracy in closed and partially open sky area
Mobile laser scanning is being used more often in Estonia and abroad to obtain geospatial information. As the system is still new and being upgraded, different methods are being used to find out how accurately the mobile laser scanner can measure in ...

Commission No. 4: Ephemerides (Ephemerides) [PDF]
It was the President’s sad duty to report the deaths of two former past Presidents of the Commission, W. Fricke who had also been a Vice-President of the IAU and a President of Commission 8, and D. H. Sadler who had been Superintendent of H.M. Nautical Almanac Office from 1936 to 1969 and was once General Secretary of the IAU.

Effect of Ephemeris on Pulsar Timing and Navigation Accuracy Based on X-ray Pulsar Navigation-I Data
Solar system ephemeris is very important for pulsar timing and navigation. In order to explore the effect of different precision ephemerides on X-ray pulsar timing and navigation, the differences between timing and navigation results with four JPL ...

Pulsar Timing with the Parkes Radio Telescope for the Fermi Mission
We report here on two years of timing of 168 pulsars using the Parkes radio telescope. The vast majority of these pulsars have spin-down luminosities in excess of 10^34 erg/s and are prime target candidates to be detected in gamma-rays by the Fermi Gamma-

The period of this Report includes 1984 January 1, the date which was probably the most drastic caesura in the history of astronomical almanacs. It seemed, therefore, appropriate to concentrate here to the general aspects rather than to describe the works going on at the particular almanac offices.
