Uncertainties in Ground‐Based Visual Double Star Measures
ABSTRACT Stellar masses are found from the orbital elements of binary systems which are, in turn, computed from weighted astrometric measures. Astrometric measures of double stars (their position angle and separation) rarely include uncertainties, and published binary star orbits rarely include the weighting systems used in the determination of the ...

Plans to establish a satellite network around the Moon to support communication, position, navigation, and timing services are rapidly evolving. Satellites that are part of this system broadcast their ephemeris as finite parameters to lunar users for ...

On the HU Aquarii planetary system hypothesis
In this work, we investigate the eclipse timing of the polar binary HU Aquarii that has been observed for almost two decades. Recently, Qian et al. attributed large (O-C) deviations between the eclipse ephemeris and observations to a compact system of ...

The Orbital Ephemeris and X-Ray Light Curve of Cyg X-3 [PDF]
The orbital dynamics of Cyg X-3 are a key to understanding this enigmatic X-ray binary. Recent observations by the RXTE ASM and the OSSE instrument on GRO enable us to extend the baseline of arrival time measurements and test earlier models of orbital ...

The optical ephemeris and X-ray variability of 4U 1735-44 (V926 Sco) [PDF]
Optical observations of the low mass X-ray binary 4U 1735-44 were obtained during 1997-2007 and combined with earlier published observations from 1984-1993 to refine the ephemeris for the system. The linear fit for the time of maximum optical light has the ephemeris HJD = 2445904.0494(90) + [ N x 0.19383222(29)] with a value of chi^2 = 253.5$ for 16 ...

Validity of the relations between the synodic and sidereal rotation velocities of the Sun [PDF]
Existing methods for conversion between synodic and sidereal rotation velocities of the Sun are tested for validity using state of the art ephemeris data. It is found that some of them are in good agreement with ephemeris calculations, while the other ones show a discrepancy of almost 0.01 deg per day.

Our study shows that the landscape‐scale environmental gradient represented as ecotone and as local environmental factors can alternately determine the spatial structures of the floodplain biota across seasons. The study highlights the understudied yet important linkages of spatial and temporal biotic assemblages and advance understanding of ecology ...

Transit observations at the observatory in Grossschwabhausen: XO-1b and TrES-1 [PDF]
We report on observations of transit events of the transiting planets XO-1b and TrES-1 with the AIU Jena telescope in Grossschwabhausen. Based on our IR photometry (in March 2007) and available transit timings (SuperWASP, XO and TLC-project-data) we ...

Abstract The magnetometer investigation of the Galileo mission used the phenomenon of magnetic induction to produce the most compelling evidence that subsurface oceans exist within our solar system. Although there is high certainty that the induced field measured at Europa is attributed to a global‐scale subsurface ocean, there is still uncertainty ...
