... The experience of determination of the link between radio sources and dynamical reference frames is presented. To obtain this connection we used a series of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of the spacecraft Phobos-2 and angularly nearby quasars. ... The dynamical reference frame is determined by equator and equinox of these ephemerides. ... References . ... The relative orientation of the radio and dynamical reference frames can be described by a sequence of three rotations . ...

Next: Chemical abundances Up: HS 0822+3542 - a Previous: H I 21 cm . The main parameters of HS 0822+3542, along with those of the two earlier known local candidate young galaxies, are presented in Table 1 . The distances to all three galaxies for the sake of homogeneity are derived from the radial velocities. ... However, such distance estimates for two galaxies, HS 0822+3542 and I Zw 18 with small radial velocities are rather uncertain. ... The same relates to HS 0822+3542. ...

CORRELATOR POLARIMETRY Jim Cordes 1995 November 27 This writeup is intended to clarify the relationship between polarimetry done with a correlator and continuum polarimetery done with a single-channel system.

IVS Analysis Centers provide these catalogs in a standard IERS format, where together with radio source positions and other relevant information, RA/DE correlations are reported. ...

... On the other hand, the absolute astrometry that can be obtained from WFPC2 images is limited by the positions of the guide stars, usually known to about 0."5 rms in each coordinate, and by the transformation between the FGS and the WFPC2, which introduces errors of order of 0."1 (see Instrument Science Report OSG-006). ... The recommended way to convert pixel coordinates into relative coordinates is to use the task metric , which can handle both WF/PC and WFPC2 images. ...

THE PHOTOMETRIC RESEARCHS OF THE MERCURY'S SURFACE BY MEANS OF DIGITAL MODELS. ... The surface brightness of Mercury was measured Danjon (1933, 1949, 1953) and Harris (1961) in phase angle 3o-123o. The analysis of the various data of the integral photometric gives the results of determination of the main photometric constants for Mercury. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...

Next: Other parameters of the Up: The Model Previous: Initial binary parameters . As we only deal with initially massive binary systems (their primary's mass is higher than 10 ), which are capable of evolving off the main sequence during less than years, the compact stars left behind stellar evolution are (in the case of the most massive stars) NSs and BHs. ... For a NS belonging to a binary, the evolution complicates as the secondary star evolves: for example, (recycling), etc. ...

... To plot the data (and model, here xitau.model), I have read the model, computed the model values for the ASTROMETRY, and used Plot|ASTROMETRY to produce the ASTROMETRY plot widget. ...

Region markers can be moved, resized, rotated, zoomed, deleted, and can change geometric type. ... For example, markers placed on astronomical catalog positions should be fixed so that one cannot accidentally move them off the specified position. ... Parameters can be fixed using the fix option of the regions public access point (for fixing classes of markers) or by means of a fix keyword in the definition of an externally loaded marker. ...
