The Second-Generation Guide Star Catalog: Description and Properties
B. M. Lasker, M. G. Lattanzi, B. J. McLean +23
The GSC-II is an all-sky database of objects derived from the uncompressed DSS that the STScI has created from the Palomar and UK Schmidt survey plates and made available to the co…
A general relativistic model for the light propagation in the gravitational field of the Solar System: the dynamical case
Fernando de Felice, Alberto Vecchiato, Maria Teresa Crosta +2
Modern astrometry is based on angular measurements at the micro-arcsecond level. At this accuracy a fully general relativistic treatment of the data reduction is required. This pap…
The GSC-II-based survey of ancient cool white dwarfs I. The sample of spectroscopically confirmed WDs
D. Carollo, B. Bucciarelli, S. T. Hodgkin +6
The GSC-II white dwarf survey was designed to identify faint and high proper motion objects, which we used to define a new and independent sample of cool white dwarfs. With this su…
Disk or Halo white dwarfs? Kinematic analysis of high proper motion surveys
A. Spagna, D. Carollo, M. G. Lattanzi +1
We present an alternative method for the kinematic analysis of high proper motion surveys and discuss its application to the survey of Oppenheimer et al. (2001) for the selection o…
A General Relativistic Model of Light Propagation in the Gravitational Field of the Solar System: the Static Case
F. de Felice, M. T. Crosta, A. Vecchiato +2
We develop here a new approach for the relativistic modeling of the photons moving into a quasi-Minkowskian space-time, where the metric is generated by an arbitrary n-body distrib…
Digitatio and Scientific Exploitation of the Italian and Vatican Astronomical Plate Archives
C. Barbieri
There is a widespread interest to digitize the precious information contained in the astronomical plate archives, both for the preservation of their content and for its fast distri…
