Optical-morphology-based assessment of astrometric quality in Gaia-CRF3 quasars
Qiqi Wu, Shilong Liao, Zhaoxiang Qi +3
Context. Several studies have shown that host-galaxy structure or extended optical morphology in AGNs can induce spurious parallaxes and proper motions in Gaia DR3. However, it rem…

Refining the Gaia DR3 Parallax Zero-point: A Hybrid Approach Combining Global Parametric Correction with Local Refinement
Ye Ding, Shilong Liao, Zhaoxiang Qi +3
The Gaia Data Release 3 (GDR3) parallaxes are affected by a complex bias that depends on stellar magnitude, color, and celestial position, with amplitudes reaching tens of microarc…

Characterizing the astrometric quality of AGNs in Gaia-CRF3
Shilong Liao, Qiqi Wu, Ye Ding +2
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), owing to their great distances and compact sizes, serve as fundamental anchors for defining the celestial reference frame. With about 1.9 million AGN…
