Presented is a method of global adjustment of stars' right ascensions for the compilation of an independent catalog obtained with a meridian circle. The concept of the problem is shown first, in which corrections to the catalog positions of observed stars can be determined directly by solving a set of observation equations constructed over many of nights. Some parameters such as clock correction, azimuth of artificial azimuth marks, and the correction to an adopted value of the latitude are assumed to vary regularly over the observation period. The present method is applied to the determination of the absolute azimuth of the Tokyo PMC by using upper and lower transits of azimuth stars. 相似文献

The paper deals with the method based on treating the axial meridian circle and a long-focus light mark in the prime vertical as a single virtual instrument that has properties of meridian circle. A horizontal axis, a sighting line, and a micrometer cross-wire of the instrument are created by optical means. The key function here is performed by the light mark that ensures a reference direction used for formation of instrumental principal planes and directions. Stability of instrumental azimuth, inclination, and collimation is expected to be about ±0.″01. Besides, an accuracy of observations is not affected by any temperature and weight deformations of telescope mechanics. Owing to the last circumstance, the design is cheap and the telescope aperture may be increased significantly, to about 1m. An estimate of accuracy of observations depends on the adopted model of image motion, and for sites with excellent seeing and bright stars is ±0.″03 to ±0.″05 (rms). 相似文献

I discuss the effects of instrumental errors on the absolute determination of azimuth a and latitude φ by means of combined prime vertical and meridian observations. The analysis shows that the single-star measuring accuracy of a is much higher than that of φ . In order to obtain an independent, high-accuracy declination system as early as possible, I suggest first to carry out absolute declination measurement of stars in a selected declination zone and use these stars to determine the equator point of the graduated circle. I suggest also that single observation should be more fully utilized. 相似文献

A method for determining precisely the barycentric position of Uranus by CCD systems is presented in this present article.
It is required according to the method that the CCD observations obtained both with a long-focus telescope which is used to
observe the major satellites of Uranus and with a meridian circle which works in a CCD drift scanning manner when it is used
to observe some faint stars. The key part of the method is tested by the observations obtained with the 1-meter telescope
at the Yunnan Observatory.
This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

The results of observations of 46 radio stars carried out with the Repsold meridian circle of the Kyyiv University Observatory in 1984–1985 and 1989–1991 are presented. The main goal of these observations is to improve the optical positions of radio stars for determination of a relationship between the optical and VLBI reference frames. The standard errors of averaged positions in two catalogues amount to 0.2 arcsec. These results were compared with those obtained with the Bordeaux meridian circle. 相似文献

The space geodetic technology requires an accurate model of correction of refraction delay by the neutral atmosphere that varies from one observing station to another, and from one azimuth to the next. It is pointed out that under the present condition the astronomical refraction can not yet be directly determined, any correction model because of its high dependence on the assumed atmospheric distribution, is incapable of achieving the required accuracy or of improving the cut-off altitude. In this paper, based on the special properties of the lower latitude meridian circle at Yunnan Observatory and our experience of determining atmospheric refraction therewith, a new method is proposed for improving the accuracy of refraction delay correction. Namely, the measured data of astronomical refraction of an observing station from near zenith to low altitudes in different azimuths are used to evaluate the refractivities and the parameters of the mapping functions, thereby establishing a model of atmospheric refraction delay correction that varies with the observing station and the azimuth. Since it is unnecessary for the new method to adopt any atmospheric distribution model, application of this new method will improve correction accuracy of refraction delay to better than 1mm at zenith and to centimeters at low altitudes, and improve the cut-off altitude to below 5 degrees. 相似文献

International Reference Stars (IRS) and Special Stars programs are very important programs of astrometry. The total number of stars in these programs is about 45 000. The time has come to begin organization of meridian observations of IRS stars and Special Programs stars at observatories in both hemispheres of the world. 相似文献

Based on an analysis of the coordinate information obtained from positional observations of stars with an irreversible cine-theodolite (KT-50), we have developed an algorithm and investigated this instrument. We have determined the parameters characterizing the coordinate system of KT-50: zero points of the azimuth and altitude scales, collimation, inclination of the horizontal axis, inclination of the vertical axis, and its azimuth. An algorithm for calculating the azimuth and altitude corrections has been developed by processing the frames of CCD observations. 相似文献

The possibility of observing solar-type oscillations on other stars is of great relevance to investigating the uncertain aspects of the internal structure of stars. One of these aspects is the convective overshoot that takes place at the borders of the envelopes of stars of mass similar to, or lower than, the Sun. It affects the temperature stratification, mixing, rotation and magnetic-field generation. Asteroseismology can provide an observational test for the studies of the structure of such overshoot regions.
The seismic study of the transition in the Sun, located at the base of the convection zone, has been successful in determining the characteristics of this layer in the Sun. In this work we consider the extension of the analysis to other solar-type stars (of mass between 0.85 and 1.2 M⊙ ) in order to establish a method for determining the characteristics of their convective envelopes. In particular, we hope to be able to establish seismologically that a star does indeed possess a convective envelope, to measure the size of the convective region and also to constrain the properties of an overshoot layer at the bottom of the envelope. The limitations in terms of observational uncertainties and stellar characteristics, and the detectability of an overshoot layer, are discussed. 相似文献

A new method is proposed for determining the frequency distribution of bursts from randomly flashing objects based on fitting Pearson distributions by the method of moments. This method is applied to flare stars in the Pleiades cluster and the Orion association. The desired frequency distribution of the bursts from flare stars can be approximated by a gamma distribution. The burst frequency distribution describes the observed statistical picture fairly well. The result is compared with other methods. 相似文献

This paper introduces a technique for searching for bright massive stars in galaxies beyond the Local Group.To search for massive stars,we processed the results of stellar photometry from the Hubble Space Telescope(HST) images using the DAOPHOT and DOLPHOT packages.The results of such searches are demonstrated with examples of the galaxies DDO 68,M94 and NGC 1672.In the galaxy DDO 68,the LBV star changes its brightness,and massive stars in M94 can be identified by excess in the Ha band.For the galaxy NGC 1672,we measure the distance for the first time by the TRGB method,which enabled determining the luminosities of the brightest stars,likely hypergiants,in the young star formation region.So far,we have performed stellar photometry on HST images of 320 northern sky galaxies located at a distance less than 12 Mpc.This allowed us to identify 53 galaxies with probable hypergiants.Further photometric and spectral observations of these galaxies are planned to search for massive stars. 相似文献

Photoelectric observations of the sky brightness along Sun’s meridian have been carried out at Salloum during the March 29, 2006 total solar eclipse. The measurements have been taken at different zenith distances along the Sun’s meridian using yellow and red wide band glass filters centered at 5500 Å and 7900 Å, respectively. The present results of the sky brightness during the total solar eclipse have been compared with that of twilight, and night sky obtained by the same instrument at Abu-Simbel and Kottamia observatory sites respectively. The variation of V–R color index with zenith distance have been also studied. The visibility of planets and stars during the March 29, 2006 total solar eclipse is given. 相似文献
