The Future of Space Astrometry
The future of space-based astrometric missions appears to be very promising. Three missions were described at IAU Colloquium 180. These are the Full-sky Astrometric Mapping Explorer (FAME), the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) and the Global Astrometric Interferometer for Astrophysics (GAIA) missions. These missions will substantially improve the accuracy of global astrometric measurements ma...
متن کاملSub-milliarcsecond precision spectro-astrometry of Be stars
Context. The origin of the disks around Be stars is still not known. Further progress requires a proper parametrization of their structure, both spatially and spectrally. This is challenging as the disks are very small. Aims. Here we assess whether a novel method is capable of providing these data. Methods. We obtained spectro-astrometry around the Paβ line of two bright Be stars, α Col and ζ T...
متن کاملExoplanet search with astrometry
Searching for extrasolar planets by direct detection is extremely challenging for current instrumentation. Indirect methods, that measure the effect of a planet on its host star, are much more promising and have indeed led to the discovery of nearly all extrasolar systems known today. While the most successful method thus far is the radial velocity technique, new interferometric instruments lik...
متن کاملPulsar Astrometry with the VLBA
Many features of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) contrive to make it the best telescope for pulsar astrometry. The measured proper motions and parallaxes allow distances and transverse velocities to be determined. These in turn provide clues to questions spanning nuclear astrophysics on scales of 10−23 m to the distribution of gas in the Galaxy on scales of 10 m. Three pulsars are discussed...
متن کاملObervational Model for Microarcsecond Astrometry with the Space Interferometry Mission
The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) is a space-based long-baseline optical interferometer for precision astrometry. One of the primary objectives of the SIM instrument is to accurately determine the directions to a grid of stars, together with their proper motions and parallaxes, improving a priori knowledge by nearly three orders of magnitude. The basic astrometric observable of the instrum...
