Towards sub-microarcsecond models for relativistic astrometry
arXiv:1312.1821
Abstract
Astrometric space missions like Gaia have stimulated a rapid advance in the field of relativistic astrometry. Present investigations in that field aim at accuracies significantly less than a microarcsecond. We review the present status of relativistic astrometry. As far as the problem of light propagation is concerned we face two problems: the form of the BCRS metric and solutions to the light-ray equation. Finally, work in progress in that field is briefly mentioned.
