Improvements of astrometry from ground based observatories
The analysis of planetary satellites or asteroids ground based observations is quite similar. Our first goal was to improve the astrometric reduction for digitized photographic plates in case of too few reference stars and to propose solutions. We here present astrometric techniques used for old observations of the Galilean satellites made with the 26-inch refractor of USNO in Washington DC fro...
متن کاملExoplanet search with astrometry
Searching for extrasolar planets by direct detection is extremely challenging for current instrumentation. Indirect methods, that measure the effect of a planet on its host star, are much more promising and have indeed led to the discovery of nearly all extrasolar systems known today. While the most successful method thus far is the radial velocity technique, new interferometric instruments lik...
متن کاملExpected Coalescence Rate of Double Neutron Stars for Ground Based Interferometers
In this paper we present new estimates of the coalescence rate of neutron star binaries in the local universe and we discuss its consequences for the first generations of ground based interferometers. Our approach based on both evolutionary and statistical methods gives a galactic merging rate of 1.7 10 yr, in the range of previous estimates 10 10 yr. The local rate which includes the contribut...
متن کاملGlobal astrometry with OSI
— The Orbiting Stellar Interferometer is a proposed space-based interferometer which makes very accurate wide-angle astrometric measurements on several thousand stars. As opposed to Hipparcos, OSI does not have a “basic angle” between two separate field-of-views but three separate interferometers and a highly accurate metrology system. The questions addressed in this paper are whether it is pos...
متن کاملPerformance study of ground-based infrared Bracewell interferometers Application to the detection of exozodiacal dust disks with GENIE
Nulling interferometry, a powerful technique for high-resolution imaging of the close neighbourhood of bright astrophysical objets, is currently considered for future space missions such as Darwin or the Terrestrial Planet Finder Interferometer (TPF-I), both aiming at Earth-like planet detection and characterization. Ground-based nulling interferometers are being studied for both technology dem...
