... Using the GSSS catalog coordinates for the guide stars and the PASS coordinates for the target stars, it was expected that the stars would fall about 1'' from the reference position in the image. ... The analysis clearly demonstrated that the limiting factor in determining the aper­ Figure 2: This plot shows the positions of the stars relative to the reference point as determined from the PASS coordinates and from the images. ture center is now inaccuracy in the catalog coordinates. ...

Next: Catalog Construction Up: Observations and Analysis Previous: Source Detections . ... It was assumed that the highest signal gives the most likely position of the source. ... Comparing the summed map with the maps from the individual energy ranges, the one which produced the smallest error box was chosen to represent the source position, as long as was greater than 4, a level chosen to reflect a reasonable degree of confidence in the detection. ...

... This task operates on event data in an event list. ... In the first two cases, the celestial coordinates of the reference point are taken respectively as the values of the RA_NOM , DEC_NOM or RA_OBJ , DEC_OBJ values in the input event file header. ... Although the OM attitude information may be more accurate, it will not be present throughout part of the observation, and as such, the default source for the attitude data should be "ahf". ...

Since the 1980s VLBI observations at two frequencies, 8.4 (X-band) and 2.3 GHz (S-band) have been used to locate the positions of compact radio sources with unprecedented accuracy. ... Observations of selected strong compact extragalactic radio sources, using this now mature technique, have been used to define and maintain a radio reference frame with sub-milli-arcsecond (mas) precision. ... Additionally, it will provide more reference sources for phase referencing VLBI observations. ... References . ...

... With enough velocity, a spacecraft can break loose from the Earth's gravity and enter an orbit around the Sun, like that of a planet. If it then orbits the Sun with the same period as the Earth--one year--it may keep a fixed position relative to Earth. ... If the distance is just right--about 4 times the distance to the Moon or 1/100 the distance to the Sun--the spacecraft, too, will need just one year to go around the Sun, and will keep its position between the Sun and the Earth. ...
