Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1984 Radio astrometry is now the premier astrometric technique for measuring the positions of celestial objects. The precision with which absolute positions can be determined is approaching a few milliarc-seconds. The progress towards establishing an almost inertial reference frame based upon the positions of extragalactic radio sources is reviewed as of ...

Bolide fragmentation: What parts of asteroid 2008 TC3 survived to the ground?
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 57, Issue 9, Page 1641-1664, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Asteroid 2008 TC3 impacted the Earth's atmosphere with a known shape and orientation. Over 600 meteorites were recovered at recorded locations, including meteorites of nonureilite type. From where in the asteroid did these stones originate? Here, we reconstruct the meteor lightcurve and study the breakup dynamics of asteroid 2008 TC3 in 3‐D ...

Masses and Densities of Dwarf Planet Satellites Measured with ALMA
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We have used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to measure precise absolute astrometric positions and detect the astrometric wobble of dwarf planet Orcus and its satellite Vanth over a complete orbit.

An Updated View of the Milky Way from Maser Astrometry
Universe, 2022 Astrometric observations of maser sources in the Milky Way, using the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique, have been exploited to determine the spiral structure of our Galaxy. Several major spiral arms have now been pinpointed in the first

The VLA-COSMOS Survey. II. Source Catalog of the Large Project [PDF]
, 2006 The VLA-COSMOS Large Project is described and its scientific objective is discussed. We present a catalog of ~3600 radio sources found in the 2 deg^2 COSMOS field at 1.4 GHz. The observations in the VLA A and C configuration resulted in a resolution of 1.

Ray tracing-based delay model for compensating gravitational deformations of VLBI radio telescopes
Journal of Geodetic Science, 2022 The precision and the reliability of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) depend on several factors. Apart from fabrication discrepancies or meteorological effects, gravity-induced deformations of the receiving unit of VLBI radio telescopes are ...

Probing the Heart of Active Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies with VERA Wideband Polarimetry
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We explored the parsec-scale nuclear regions of a sample of radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLSy1s) using the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry wideband (at a recording rate of 16 Gbps) polarimetry at 22 and 43 GHz.

VERA monitoring of the radio jet 3C 84 during 2007--2013: detection of non-linear motion [PDF]
, 2018 We present a kinematic study of the subparsec-scale radio jet of the radio galaxy 3C 84/NGC 1275 with the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) array at 22 GHz for 80 epochs from 2007 October to 2013 December.

Radio and Optical Astrometry [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1974 Radio positional measurements have achieved an accuracy as high as that of optical astrometry, with uncertainties no greater than a few hundredths of an arc second in each coordinate. Declinations and relative right ascensions are determined absolutely.

Radio source structures in VLBI astrometry [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1988 In astrometry, celestial radio sources with extended structures are useful. An algorithm to correct for structure in VLBI delays and delay rates is developed. The radio source NRAO140 is mapped from data with limited u-v coverage by the hybrid method and the Maximum Entropy procedure.
