From joint analysis of Hipparcos and ground-based observations

چکیده
Two methods are considered for the improvement of the ephemerides of the asteroids observed by the Hipparcos satellite. They utilize different combinations of ground-based and space-based data. In particular, we develop a method based on an analysis of the variance matrix in the least-squares solution of Hipparcos observations taken alone. Application and comparison of the results for (2) Pallas and (324) Bamberga are given. It is shown that one of the methods is less sensitive to the weighting of the equations of condition. This procedure can be applied to the improvement of the ephemerides of asteroids when the observational data consist of subsets of very different accuracies.

Comparison of the first results from the Hipparcos star mappers with the Hipparcos Input Catalogue
Preliminary positions and magnitudes derived from the analysis of 12 weeks of observations from the Hipparcos star mappers are systematically compared with the various sources of ground-based data used in the Hipparcos Input Catalogue. These comparisons allow to cross-check the accuracies claimed by the various sources of ground-based data and by the analysis method of star mapper data. The par...
متن کاملThe Hipparcos solar system objects catalogues ?
Astrometric and photometric measurements of a number of solar system objects were performed by the Hipparcos satellite in both the Hipparcos main mission and the Tycho experiment. The results concern mainly asteroids but also the planetary satellites Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan and Iapetus, and the major planets Uranus and Neptune. The specific aspects of the Tycho/Hipparcos observations ...
متن کاملThe combination of ground-based astrometric compilation catalogues with the HIPPARCOS Catalogue II. Long-term predictions and short-term predictions
The combination of ground-based astrometric compilation catalogues, such as the FK5 or the GC, with the results of the ESA Astrometric Satellite HIPPARCOS produces for many thousands of stars proper motions which are significantly more accurate than the proper motions derived from the HIPPARCOS observations alone. In Paper I (Wielen et al. 1999, A&A 347, 1046) we have presented a method of comb...
متن کاملMulti-Observations Initial Orbit Determination based on Angle-Only Measurements
A new approach with the ability to use the multiple observations based on the least square approach has been proposed for initial orbit determination. This approach considers the Earth’s Oblateness by using the developed Lagrange coefficients. The efficiency of the proposed method has been tested in two scenarios. The first scenario is to use the simulated and the second one is to utilize the r...
متن کاملThe Luminosities and Diameters of Mira Variables from Hipparcos Parallaxes
Hipparcos trigonometrical parallaxes of Mira-type variables have been combined with ground-based angular diameter measurements to derive linear diameters. Of eight stars with ground-based data, six have diameters indicating overtone pulsation whilst two, both with periods over 400 day, are pulsating in the fundamental. Hipparcos parallaxes of 11 Miras have been combined with extensive infrared ...
