Hubble Space Telescope Astrometry Science Team

See how astrometry, one of the oldest branches of astronomy, uses the Hubble Space Telescope, one of the newest tools of astronomy. Interrogate our home page to find out what we do, who we are, and what we've done. Look over our shoulder as we search for planets around a nearby star. We use the Fine Guidance Sensors aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to measure star positions, study binary stars and study stellar motions. Primarily, stellar positions yield parallaxes which provide information on distance. The distances to nearby stars calibrate the entire astronomical distance scale. Monitoring star position may reveal previously unseen companions. We search for planets near Proxima Centauri and Barnard's Star. We also work to tie the HIPPARCOS reference frame to an extragalactic (non-rotating) reference frame. We study binary stars unresolvable using ground-based techniques. We inspect stars to determine whether or not they are binary. We use the Planetary Camera to obtain images of stars in globular clusters. The precision with which we can measure positions is so high, that after 3-5 years a second image will show motions of stars in clusters 6 kpc distant.

Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe / European VLBI Network (JIVE / EVN)

The European VLBI Network (EVN) was formed in 1980 by a consortium of five of the major radio astronomy institutes in Europe (the European Consortium for VLBI). Since 1980, the EVN and the Consortium has grown to include 9 institutes with 12 telescopes in 8 western European countries as well as associated institutes with telescopes in Poland, Russia, Ukraine and China. Proposals for additional telescopes in Spain and Italy are under consideration, and furthermore, the EVN can be linked to the 7-element Jodrell Bank MERLIN interferometer in the UK and to the US Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) to create a " global network" . In 1993 the Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe (JIVE) was created, with the Netherlands Foundation for Research in Astronomy (Dwingeloo) acting as the host institute. It will provide both scientific user support and a correlator facility. Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) achieves ultra-high angular resolution and is a multi-disciplinary technique e.g. imaging of extragalactic radio sources, geodesy and astrometry. See EVN-TWG Meeting . There is also an EVN anonFTP directory at JB .

McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences

The McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences exists to encourage scientists to work together on research problems that span or transcend traditional departmental lines. This is done through formal programs such as regular colloquia, and informally through the common bond of fellowship in the Center. Space science, broadly defined as the study of the universe and our relationship to it, is simply too vast an area to be the province of a single discipline. Understanding the formation of the solar system is equally the task of the chemist who measures isotope effects in meteorites, the astronomer who observes planetary atmospheres or interstellar dust, and the theoretical physicist who studies gravitational collapse. Faculty and students of the Center thus belong to one of the basic, traditional science departments, yet overlap strongly in their research work.

Craters or coronae can be selected by size, type, and name status to create user-generated maps of the selected features, as well as a text listing. A dynamic ISMAP is created with clickable areas where users can obtain more information about any feature viewed on the map, or directly from the text list. Users may also elect to examine the distribution of their selected features by using hierarchical cluster analysis to generate a dendrogram of any groupings.

NRL Solar Physics Branch (NRL)

There are three active experimental programs in the Solar Physics Branch: The Large Angle Coronagraph-Spectrograph (LASCO) experiment is one experimental package aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), a joint ESA/NASA mission, which was launched on December 2, 1995. LASCO is now producing coronal images from all three of its coronagraphs. The Solar Ultraviolet Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SUSIM) experiment begun on October 11, 1991 aboard the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) continues to measure the solar UV spectral irradiance. The High Resolution Telescope and Spectrograph (HRTS) experiment has collected spectroscopic observations of the Sun while flying on suborbital rockets since its first flight in 1975.

There are about 520 staff members working in NAIRC, including one China Academician, 17 senior researchers and professors, 60 senior engineers and 150 technicians. They compose a technical team to study and design the overall astronomical instruments including optical system, precise mechanics, automatic and computer controls. NAIRC is equipped with precise mechanical machines,electronic testing instruments, large and medium optical fabricating machines, of which some are very rare in China. NAIRC is specialized in optical process technology for aspheric surface, birefringent crystal, etc. Its off axis aspheric technique is in the domestic lead position. The technology of antenna panel for millimetre wavelength radio telescope is also being advanced in China. NAIRC adopts astronomical technique and methods research as its subject direction. Its main developing areas are the instruments for stellar,solar and satellite observations,astrometric and radio astronomical instruments and other instruments by comprehensive techniques.The great achievements have been obtained in basic research field such as the active optics and astronomical optical interferometry, which have been placed as the major research projects of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Especially,after finishing the pre-research in NAIRC, the Large Sky Area Multi-objects Fibre Spectroscopy Telescope (LAMOST) has been rated as one of the major national scientific projects.
NAIRC is an authorized unit for training M.Sc and Ph.D students with the subject of "Astronomical Instruments and Methods". NAIRC is having wide international contacts with more than 20 countries. The multilevel academic exchange and technical-trade collaboration have been set up with overseas scientists, institutes and specialized corporations.

USC Space Sciences Center

The Space Sciences Center, directed by Professor Darrell L. Judge, is engaged in both laboratory and space based investigations. Current deep space, sounding rocket, and space shuttle flight experiments investigate the characteristics of planetary atmospheres, the interplanetary medium, and the sun through remote sensing optical techniques. Recently in situ neutral particle detection techniques have been developed to extend the capability of our remote sensing heliospheric space experiment. The Space Sciences Center also has a vigorous program in the physics of binary star systems and in the analysis of luminosity variations in B and O type stars

Also we are currently serving the most recent pre-main-sequence evolution tracks from D'Antona & Mazzitelli (ApJ Suppl, Jan 1994). In the near future we will be adding an extensive database of standard star spectra

1. in the red region (5500-9000 A) from the HYDRA spectrograph
2. in the near infrared region from the FTS spectrograph on the KPNO 4m telescope.

This database will include the Kleinmann et al. 2 micron spectra as well as recently acquired spectra in the J and H bands for the entire range of spectral types and luminosities. We also have available a set of transparent bitmaps of the Greek alphabet for use in Mosaic pages that are available for pickup if you wish to use them.
