Synchronisation of a tidal binary by inward orbital migration. The case of Pluto and Charon

Michael Efroimsky, Michaela Walterova, Yeva Gevorgyan +3

It is usually taken for granted that mutual synchronisation of a tidal two-body system is attained through tidal recession, assuming the reduced Hill sphere is not reached. However…

Partial Alignment of Astrometric Position Excursions of International Celestial Reference Frame Quasars with Radio Jet Structures

Valeri V. Makarov, Phil Cigan, David Gordon +3

Published analyses of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) data for the sources included in the third International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF3) catalog have revealed obje…

Metrics of Astrometric Variability in the International Celestial Reference Frame: I. Statistical analysis and selection of the most variable sources

Phil Cigan, Valeri Makarov, Nathan Secrest +3

Using very long baseline interferometry data for the sources that comprise the third International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF3), we examine the quality of the formal source po…

Robust 1-norm periodograms for analysis of noisy non-Gaussian time series with irregular cadences: Application to VLBI astrometry of quasars

Valeri V. Makarov, Sébastien Lambert, Phil Cigan +2

Astronomical time series often have non-uniform sampling in time, or irregular cadences, with long gaps separating clusters of observations. Some of these data sets are also explic…

On the orbital decay of the gas giant Kepler-1658b

Adrian J. Barker, Michael Efroimsky, Valeri V. Makarov +1

The gas giant Kepler-1658b has been inferred to be spiralling into its sub-giant F-type host star Kepler-1658a (KOI-4). The measured rate of change of its orbital period is $\dot{P…

Astrometric jitter of the sun as a star

V. V. Makarov, D. Parker, R. K. Ulrich

The daily variation of the solar photocenter over some 11 years is derived from the Mount Wilson data reprocessed by Ulrich et al. 2010 to closely match the surface distribution of…
