Astrometry of Fundamental Catalogues: The Evolution from Optical to Radio Reference Frames Hardcover - 2000 - 2000th Edition
by Hans G. Walter; Ojars J. Sovers
First line
Prior to the establishment of a fundamental catalogue of positions, it is necessary to define the reference system which postulates the basic principles to be followed in order to arrive at the star coordinates of the fundamental catalogue.
From the rear cover
Celestial fundamental catalogues are a prerequisite for the determination of absolute positions and motions in space. Presently, positional astrometry is at the watershed between classical fundamental catalogues, based on moving reference stars, and modern catalogues, based on extragalactic reference objects with non-measurable motion. This book addresses the concepts and methods of the respective construction techniques leading to the stellar frame of the FK5 (Fifth Fundamental Catalogue) and to the newly adopted extragalactic radio reference frame, ICRF (International Celestial Reference Frame), with its extension to optical wavelengths by the Hipparcos Catalogue. While principal outlines of meridian circle observations are given, emphasis is put in some detail on the VLBI technique as applied to astrometry, and to the observational techniques used in the Hipparcos mission, including the tie of the originally non-anchored rigid Hipparcos sphere into the ICRF.
