A catalog of quasar candidates identified by astrometric and mid-infrared methods in Gaia EDR3
Qiqi Wu, Shilong Liao, Zhaoxiang Qi +3
Quasars are very important in materializing the reference frame. The excess emission of AGNs (active galactic nuclei) in the mid infrared band can be used to identify quasar candid…
Progress on the Astrometric Gravitation Probe design
Mario Gai, Alberto Vecchiato, Alberto Riva +13
The Astrometric Gravitation Probe mission is a modern version of the 1919 Dyson-Eddington-Davidson experiment, based on a space-borne telescope with a permanent built-in eclipse, p…
The ASTRA project: a doorway to future astrometry
Mario Gai, Zhaoxiang Qi, Mario G. Lattanzi +15
Astrometric Science and Technology Roadmap for Astrophysics (ASTRA) is a bilateral cooperation between China and Italy with the goal of consolidating astrometric measurement concep…
RAFTER: Ring Astrometric Field Telescope for Exo-planets and Relativity
Alberto Riva, Mario Gai, Alberto Vecchiato +5
High precision astrometry aims at source position determination to a very small fraction of the diffraction image size, in high SNR regime. One of the key limitations to such goal…
The Distances to Molecular Clouds at High Galactic Latitudes based on GAIA DR2
Qing-Zeng Yan, Bo Zhang, Ye Xu +4
We report the distances of molecular clouds at high Galactic latitudes (|b|>10) derived from parallax and G band extinction (A) measurements in the second Gaia da…
Identifying quasars with astrometric and mid-infrared methods from APOP and ALLWISE
Sufen Guo, Zhaoxiang Qi, Shilong Liao +5
Context. Quasars are spatially stationary, and they are essential objects in astrometry when defining reference frames. However, the census of quasars is far from complete. Mid-inf…
