Eliminating Virtual Impactors with the Very Large Telescope: An ESO Program with the FORS2 Camera

We have used the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) to perform as trometric observations of Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) having remote collision possibilities with the Earth. The observations were made for those objects which became too faint to be observed elsewhere. Using the 4 hours allocated in the semester April–September 2003, 5 faint NEAs were observed. As a result, no NEA that could impact the Earth was lost.     

A New Protocol for the Astrometric Follow-up of Near Earth Asteroids

A new protocol was devised to improve the efficiency of astrometric follow-up observations of Near Earth Asteroids for the accurate determination of their orbits. It was implemented in the activities of the Spaceguard Central Node (SCN, a facility of the Spaceguard Foundation, established with the support of the European Space Agency) in the form of a Priority List. Here we describe this protocol and results obtained during five years of activity (2000–2004).     

卫星双向法时间比对的归算

卫星双向法比对原理为两个台站同步发送和接收时间信号，可消除传递路径误差，因此比对精度高，它的缺点是效率低，占用大量卫星时间，也不适合于自动化操作，现正在研制的终端可多台站同时观测，克服了上述缺点，利用新的终端提出一种新的处理方法，研究表明多台站观测的同时性有更多的信息可提取，以提高比对精度。     

提高中性大气折射延迟改正精度的可能途径

针对空间大地测量技术对中性大气折射延迟改正精度的要求,阐述了折射延迟改正值应随测站和随方位而异的必要性．指出,在尚不能直接测定天文大气折射值的情况下,现有的各种改正模型对大气分布模型的依赖性,不能达到预期的精度和降低观测的截止角．根据云南天文台低纬子午环的特殊结构,和测定大气折射的实践,提出了提高折射延迟改正精度的新方法,即：利用各观测站不同方位从天顶附近直到低地平高度角的天文大气折射实测数据,求解得到折射率差和映射函数的参数,从而建立随测站和随方位而异的大气折射延迟改正模型．这一新方法的实施,将能在不需采用大气分布模型的情况下,把天顶延迟的改正精度提高到1 mm以内,低地平高度角的折射延迟改正精度提高到厘米级,并且把截止高度角压缩到5°以内．     

依巴谷星(104297)相对于伽里略卫星Callisto的CCD位置测量

１９９７年１１月１４日晚，在中国科学院云南天文台１米望远镜上用新安装的１０２４２ＣＣＤ观测到了木星的两颗伽里略卫星；Ｅｕｒｏｐａ和Ｃａｌｌｉｓｔｏ及一颗依巴谷星（星号为 １０４２９７）．当采用新的 ＪＰＬ ＤＥ４０５和 Ｓａｍｐｓｏｎ－Ｌｉｅｓｋｅ理论（Ｇ５）计算卫星的理论位置并相对于Ｃａｌｌｉｓｔｏ测量恒星位置时，视位置的观测值与计算值之差的平均值在赤经和赤纬方向分别为△α＝－０″０２９±０．″０１２，△δ＝０．″００５± ０．″０１１．这对应于平均观测历元（ＵＴ）：１９９７年１１月１４日１３时４３分５０秒．这一试验结果与 Ｃａｓａｓ等在同一时期内ＣＣＤ观测的结果有着很好的一致性 它反映了依巴谷星表体现的光学参考系与ＤＥ４０５体现的动力学参考系在观测历元具有较好的一致性．单次位置测定的标准误差在赤经赤纬方向分别为±０．″０５２和０．″０４７．这一精度明显优于 Ｃａｓａｓ等人发表的 Ｃａｌｌｉｓｔｏ的处理精度，并与目前国际上最好的伽里略卫星观测精度相当     

一种估计观测资料动态误差的方法

给出一种较好的观测资料动态误差估计的方法：单圈改进法，该方法从轨道理论出发，有明确的物理背景，避免了最小二乘拟合阶数和Vondrak平滑法平滑因子不确定性，较为准确地估计了观测资料的动态误差．另外该方法能够反映观测资料的不正常的跳动，对准确地评估观测仪器的性能，进一步改进观测仪器是有益处的．     

Non-tidal variations in the deflection of the vertical at Beijing Observatory

At Beijing Observatory both astrometric and gravimetric observations are available to study the non-tidal variations in the deflections of the vertical (or non-tidal plumbline variations, PLVs). From repeated gravimetric observations performed in a network around the observatory, the PLVs at Beijing Observatory during the period 1987.0–1996.0 have been calculated. After comparison with the observational residuals (which also contain the PLV components) of the photoelectric astrolabe located at the observatory, the accuracy of the obtained PLV results has been examined. It is shown that, due to the asymmetry of the gravimetric network, the qualities of the two different PLV components are not equal. The longitude component of the PLV at Beijing has been determined successfully, to be of the order of 0.05, with a contribution of about 0.02 in the inter-annual time scale. The result for the latitude PLV component is not good enough to draw a conclusion. Although both techniques are able to measure the PLV, the result of the determination depends very much on the availability of observational data.     

基于岭估计的快速静态精密单点定位研究

精密单点定位可以实现厘米级的定位精度,但其实时应用受到模糊度收敛时间的限制,模糊度收敛一般需要30分钟甚至更长的时间.基于相位历元间差分技术,可以避免模糊度的求解,但求解的参数为历元间坐标差.在相位历元间差分技术基础之上,推导了无模糊度模型的快速静态单点定位模型,并通过岭估计理论来进行参数的求解,两个以上历元就可以解算得到位置参数,从而实现静态状态下单点的快速定位,克服了模糊度收敛时间的局限,并讨论了不同坐标初值情况下估计值的精度.
