Sub-Microarcsecond Astrometry and New Horizons in Relativistic Gravitational Physics
Attaining the limit of sub-microarcsecond optical resolution will completely revolutionize fundamental astrometry by merging it with relativistic gravitational physics. Beyond the sub-microarcsecond threshold, one will meet in the sky a new population of physical phenomena caused by primordial gravitational waves from the early universe and/or di erent localized astronomical sources, space-time...
متن کاملRelativistic Models for a GAIA-Like Astrometry Mission
A non-perturbative general relativistic approach to global astrometry was developed by de Felice et al. (1998) to handle satellite astrometry data in a genuine relativistic framework. In this contribution, the framework above has been further exploited to account for stellar motions and parallax. Because of the relevance that accurate knowledge (to 10 5 or better) of the relativistic parameter ...
متن کاملSome aspects of Relativistic Astrometry from within the Solar System
In this article we outline the structure of a general relativistic astrometric model which has been developed to deduce the position and proper motion of stars from 1-microarcsecond optical observations made by an astrometric satellite orbiting around the Sun. The basic assumption of our model is that the Solar System is the only source of gravity, hence we show how we modeled the satellite obs...
متن کاملGeneral relativistic satellite astrometry I. A non-perturbative approach to data reduction
A general relativistic scenario is utilized to build a non-perturbative model, in Schwarzschild metric, for the representation of observed angles among star pairs. This model is then applied to an end-to-end simulation of the GAIA satellite, a concept for global astrometry within the 2000+ scientific program of the European Space Agency. GAIA is expected to measure positions, parallaxes, and an...
متن کاملFrom Reference Frames to Relativistic Experiments: Absolute and Relative Radio Astrometry
Reference systems and frames are crucial for high precision absolute astrometric work, and their foundations must be well-defined. The current frame, the International Celestial Reference Frame, will be discussed: its history, the use of the group delay as the measured quantity, the positional accuracy of 0.3 mas, and possible future improvements. On the other hand, for the determination of the...
