42 Years of Continuous Observations of the Solar Diameter from 1974 to 2015
Alexandre H. Andrei, Sergio C. Boscardin, Jucira L. Penna +2
Several group in the World followed the solar diameter with dedicated instruments, namely solar astrolabes, since 1974. Their data have been gathered in several observing stations…
The Reflecting Heliometer of Rio de Janeiro after 6 Years of Activity
Sergio C. Boscardin, Costantino Sigismondi, Jucira L. Penna +3
Started its regular, daily operational phase in 2011 and installed in 2009 by the occasion of the Symp264 in the XXVII IAU GA at Rio de Janeiro, the results so far obtained show th…
Astrometry of the main satellites of Uranus: 18 years of observations
J. I. B. Camargo, F. P. Magalhães, R. Vieira-Martins +7
We determine accurate positions of the main satellites of Uranus: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. Positions of Uranus, as derived from those of these satellites, are…
Optical Deformations in Solar Glass Filters for High Precision Astrometry
Costantino Sigismondi, Alexandre Humberto Andrei, Sérgio Calderari Boscardin +2
Measuring the solar diameter at all position angles gives the complete figure of the Sun. Their asphericities have implications in classical physics and general relativity, and the…
Astrometric positions for 18 irregular satellites of giant planets from 23 years of observations
A. R. Gomes-Júnior, M. Assafin, R. Vieira-Martins +12
The irregular satellites of the giant planets are believed to have been captured during the evolution of the solar system. Knowing their physical parameters, such as size, density,…
49 new T dwarfs identified using methane imaging
C. V. Cardoso, B. Burningham, R. L. Smart +11
We present the discovery of 49 new photometrically classified T dwarfs from the combination of large infrared and optical surveys combined with follow-up TNG photometry. We used mu…
