Phoebe's orbit from ground-based and space-based observations [PDF]
The ephemeris of Phoebe, the ninth satellite of Saturn, is not very accurate. Previous dynamical models were usually too simplified, the astrometry is heterogeneous and, the Saturn's ephemeris itself is an additionnal source of error.

TESS Timings of 31 Hot Jupiters with Ephemeris Uncertainties [PDF]
A precise transit ephemeris serves as the premise for follow-up exoplanet observations. We compare TESS Object of Interest (TOI) transit timings of 262 hot Jupiters with the archival ephemeris and find 31 of them having TOI timing offsets, among which ...

Updating the orbital ephemeris of Her X-1; rate of decay and eccentricity of the orbit [PDF]
We present an update of the orbital ephemeris of the binary X-ray pulsar Her X-1 and determine an improved value for the rate of orbital decay. In addition, we report the first measurement of the orbital eccentricity.

ALMA SOLAR EPHEMERIS GENERATOR [PDF]
An online software tool for the easy preparation of ephemerides of the solar surface features is presented. It was developed as a helper tool for the preparation of observations of the Sun with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), but

A long-term optical and X-ray ephemeris of the polar EK Ursae Majoris [PDF]
We searched for long-term period changes in the polar EK UMa using new optical data and archival X-ray/EUV data. An optical ephemeris was derived from data taken remotely with the MONET/N telescope and compared with the X-ray ephemeris based on Einstein,

New light curves and ephemeris for the close eclipsing binary V963 PER [PDF]
We have obtained CCD photometry in 2010-11 of V963 Per (=GSC3355 0394), which is a recently identified close binary star with unequal eclipse depths. The seven new eclipse timings yield an improved ephemeris, but we caution that secondary eclipse can be ...

The K2 and TESS Synergy. III. Search and Rescue of the Lost Ephemeris for K2's First Planet [PDF]
K2-2 b/HIP 116454 b, the first exoplanet discovery by K2 during its Two-Wheeled Concept Engineering Test, is a sub-Neptune (2.5 ± 0.1 R _⊕ , 9.7 ± 1.2 M _⊕ ) orbiting a relatively bright ( K _S = 8.03) K-dwarf star on a 9.1 day period. Unfortunately, due

Daylight Observations of Venus with Naked Eye in the Goryeosa [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the observations of Venus in daytime that are recorded in the Goryeosa (History of the Goryeo Dynasty, A.D. 918-1392). There are a total of 167 accounts of such observations in this historical book, spanning a period of ...

Prediction of Communication Outage Period between Satellite and Earth station Due to Sun Interference [PDF]
We developed a computer program to predict solar interference period. To calculate Sun‘s position, we used DE406 ephemerides and Earth ellipsoid model. The Sun‘s position error is smaller than 10arcsec. For the verification of the calculation, we used
