High-precision Timing of Millisecond Pulsars and Precision Astrometry
We present the technique of long-term, high-precision timing of millisecond pulsars as applied to precision astrometry. We provide a tutorial on pulsars and pulsar timing, as well as up-to-date results of long-term timing observations of two millisecond pulsars, PSRs B1855+09 and B1937+21. We consider the feasibility of tying the extragalactic and optical reference frames to that deened by sola...
متن کاملNeutron-capture Elements in the Metal-poor Globular Cluster M15
We report on observations of six giants in the globular cluster M15 (NGC 7078) using the Subaru Telescope to measure neutron-capture elemental abundances. Our abundance analyses based on high-quality blue spectra confirm the star-to-star scatter in the abundances of heavy neutron-capture elements (e.g., Eu), and no significant s-process contribution to them, as was found in previous studies. We...
متن کاملRadio sources near the core of globular cluster 47 Tucanae
We present ATCA radio images of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae made at 1.4 and 1.7 GHz and provide an analysis of the radio sources detected within 5 ′ of the cluster centre. 11 sources are detected, most of which are clustered about the core of 47 Tuc. Both of the pulsars in 47 Tuc whose positions are known can be identified with sources in the 1.4 GHz image. The source distribution has a cha...
متن کاملAstrometry of the globular cluster 47Tuc and possible optical identification of X-ray sources
Positions of stars of 47Tuc have been derived by the use of photographic plates and CCD frames (ESO La Silla) and data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The positions have been determined with respect to the PPM, which is based on the FK5 system. We have compared the positions of variable and blue stars in the core of 47Tuc with those of the X-ray sources found by Hasinger et al. (1994). T...
متن کاملVLBA Astrometry of Compact Radio Sources in the Spitzer First-Look Survey
The NRAO Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) was used at 1.4 GHz to image 20 compact sources in the inner 1 radius of the Spitzer VLA First-Look Survey. Twelve sources were detected with the VLBA, with peak flux densities above 2 mJy at 9-mas resolution. The positions of these VLBA detections have been measured in the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) to 1σ accuracies of 8 mas East-Wes...
