This chapter describes various aspects of the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues useful for understanding the scientific exploitation considered in subsequent chapters. It describes some of the satellite…
The Hipparcos catalogue
- M. Perryman, L. Lindegren, C. Petersen
- Physics
- 2009
The principal observational characteristics of the Hipparcos Catalogue, and a summary of its main astrometric and photometric properties, are presented. Median astrometric standard errors (in…
Astrometric Detection of a Low-Mass Companion Orbiting the Star AB Doradus
- J. Guirado, J. Reynolds, S. Söderhjelm
- Physics, Geology
- 1997
We report submilliarcsecond-precise astrometric measurements for the late-type star AB Doradus via a combination of VLBI (very long baseline interferometry) and HIPPARCOS data. Our astrometric…

1. Introduction 2. New observational techniques 3. Basic principles and coordinate systems 4. Treatment of astronomical data 5. Principles of relativity 6. Apparent displacements of celestial objects…
The Hyades: distance, structure, dynamics, and age
- M. Perryman, A. Brown, F.Crifo
- Physics
- 23 July 1997
We use absolute trigonometric parallaxes from the Hipparcos Catalogue to determine individual distances to members of the Hyades cluster, from which the 3-dimensional structure of the cluster can be…
Aberration in proper motions
- J. Kovalevsky
- Physics
- 1 June 2003
Approved space astrometric missions (SIM, GAIA) are aiming at a few microarcseconds per year precision in yearly proper motions and even less than a microarcsecond in the definition of an…
THE HIPPARCOS CATALOGUE AS A REALISATION OF THE EXTRAGALACTIC REFERENCE SYSTEM
- J. Kovalevsky, L. Lindegren, N. Zacharias
- Physics
- 1 July 1997
The paper describes the methods and observations by which the Hipparcos Catalogue was linked to the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS). The contributions of several groups represented in…
Relativity in Celestial Mechanics and Astrometry
- J. Kovalevsky, V. Brumberg
- Physics
- 1986
This book presents the proceedings of the first international conference to ever simultaneously involve theoreticians in general relativity on the one hand, and astro nomers, space scientists and…
Reference frames in astronomy and geophysics
- J. Kovalevsky, I. I. Mueller, B. Kołaczek
- Physics
- 1989
This book on reference systems is the first comprehensive review of the problem of celestial and terrestrial reference systems and frames and it is hoped that this book will contribute not only to a better and wider understanding of the mathematics and the physics that are behind the concepts and the realizations, but also to future development in a field that can only expand with the rapidly increasing accuracy of geodetic and astronomical observations.
