THE INVESTIGATION OF THE FON3 CATALOGUE DATA USING WIELEN METHOD
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2016, Vol 29, Issue
Abstract
The method described by Wielen is very efficient provided the data under comparison are independent quantities. In this case, dispersion of position or magnitude differences is equal to the sum of their dispersions, because the index of correlation between the data is set zero. Using three or more independent catalogues, it is easy to estimate the external accuracy of each of them. For the cross-identification of objects, we have used the search window with a 0.5 arcsec radius. Final dispersions were calculated for every sub-range of magnitudes, for the stars with individual differences of position and magnitude exceeding three standard deviations being rejected. The following catalogues have been used for comparison with the FON3: XPM, PPMXL and UCAC4 in the Northern hemisphere. The dispersions of positions or magnitudes are calculated with the use of about 18 million common stars from these catalogues. The results presented in this work is consistent with analysis of the random errors of positions and magnitude that had been described by authors of FON3 catalog.

NO THE HOLMBERG EFFECT FOR GALAXY PAIRS SELECTED FROM THE SDSS DR9 AT Z ≤ 0:06
We studied the Holmberg effect in galaxy pairs selected from the SDSS DR9, where 60561galaxies were limited by redshift 0.02 < z < 0.06 and absolute magnitude: Mr ≤ −20.7 m for central galaxies (N=18578) and Mr > −21.5 m...
ANALYSIS OF SELF – GRAVITATING PLANETARY SATELLITES IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
As of today there have been more than 180 planetary satellites discovered in the Solar system, and the number of outer moons found continues to grow. Most of those natural satellites have insufficient mass and are able t...
2-field model of dark energy with canonical and non-canonical kinetic terms
For some parametrizations of the dark energy equation of state that varies in time there is transition from quintessence to phantom or vice versa at a certain redshift. Quintom – the 2-field model with 2 canonical kineti...
MODERN CCD OBSERVATIONS OF SELECTED MINOR PLANETS FOR THE CONNECTION OF DYNAMIC AND KINEMATIC COORDINATE SYSTEMS
One of the methods of determining the orientation parameters of the dynamic and kinematic coordinate systems is to use of long-term series of ground-based observations of selected asteroids. For achievement of the best a...
HEAT MODELS OF ASTEROIDS AND THE YORP EFFECT
The Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievski–Paddack (YORP) effect is a torque of light pressure recoil forces acting on an asteroid. We show how this torque can be expressed as an integral of a universal function over the surface...
