Small Field Ccd Astrometry with a Long Focus Reflector Telescope
We discuss the use of the block adjustment method for determining astrometric positions from a mosaic of CCD frames taken with a long focus reflector telescope. The observations cover an area of 25 × 25 around the open cluster Rup21. The source of reference positions was the Tycho-2 Catalogue. The internal error in the measured positions is analyzed, and the external error is estimated from com...
متن کاملAstrometry in Wide-field Surveys
We present a robust and fast algorithm for performing astrometry and source cross-identification on two dimensional point lists, such as between a catalogue and an astronomical image, or between two images. The method is based on minimal assumptions: the lists can be rotated, magnified and inverted with respect to each other in an arbitrary way. The algorithm is tailored to work efficiently on ...
متن کاملMeasuring the Atmospheric Influence on Differential Astrometry: a Simple Method Applied to Wide Field CCD Frames
Sets of short exposure, guided CCD frames are used to measure the noise added by the atmosphere to differential astrometric observations. Large nightly variations that are correlated with the seeing have been found in the data obtained over 2 years at the KPNO and CTIO 0.9–meter telescopes. The rms noise added by the atmosphere, after a linear transformation of the raw x, y data, is found to be...
متن کاملWide Field CCD photometry around nine open clusters
In this paper we study the evolution of core and corona of nine open clusters using the projected radial density profiles derived from homogeneous CCD photometric data obtained through the 105-cm Kiso Schmidt telescope. The age and galactocentric distance of the target clusters varies from 16 Myr to 2000 Myr and 9 kpc to 10.8 kpc respectively. Barring Be 62, which is young open cluster, other c...
متن کاملMOA-cam3: a wide-field mosaic CCD camera for a gravitational microlensing survey in New Zealand
We have developed a wide-field mosaic CCD camera, MOA-cam3, mounted at the prime focus of the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) 1.8-m telescope. The camera consists of ten E2V CCD4482 chips, each having 2k×4k pixels, and covers a 2.2 deg field of view with a single exposure. The optical system is well optimized to realize uniform image quality over this wide field. The chips are c...
