URAT: astrometric requirements and design history
نویسندگان
چکیده
The U.S. Naval Observatory Robotic Astrometric Telescope (URAT) project aims at a highly accurate (5 mas), ground-based, all-sky survey. Requirements are presented for the optics and telescope for this 0.85 m aperture, 4.5 degree diameter field-of-view, specialized instrument, which are close to the capability of the industry. The history of the design process is presented as well as astrometric performance evaluations of the toleranced, optical design, with expected wavefront errors included.

We address the issue of relativistic stellar aberration requirements for the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM). Motivated by the importance of this issue for SIM, we have considered a problem of relative astrometric observations of two stars separated by angle θ on the sky with a single baseline interferometer. While a definitive answer on the stellar aberration issue may be obtained only in n...
متن کاملThe Concept of a Stare-Mode Astrometric Space Mission
In this paper, we introduce the concept of a stare-mode astrometric space mission. The traditionally accepted mode of operation for a mapping astrometric space mission is that of a continuously scanning satellite, such as the successful Hipparcos and planned Gaia missions. With the advent of astrometry missions mapping out stars to 20th magnitude, the stare mode has become competitive. A stare ...

Grain design is the most important part of solid rocket motor design. In this paper the goal is Finocyl grain design based on predetermined objective function with respect to Thrust history or Pressure history in order to satisfy various thrust performance requirements through an innovative design approach using Genetic algorithm optimization method. The classical sampling method is used for de...
متن کاملAnalytic Study of Grid Star and Reference Star Selection for the Space Interferometry Mission
Grid stars and reference stars provide the fundamental global and local astrometric reference frames for observations by the Space Interferometry Mission. They must therefore be astrometrically stable at the ∼ 1μas level. I present simple formulae in closed form to estimate contamination of these frames by motions due to stellar companions that go undetected in a radial-velocity (RV) survey of ...
