连接VLBI和盖亚天体参考系

Connecting VLBI and Gaia celestial reference frames

Zinovy Malkin

摘要:

本文讨论了射电和光学天体参考系之间的联系问题。在今后几年中,这一方向研究的主要目标是准备比较光学{ \it Gaia}天体参考系(GCRF)和从VLBI观测中获得的第三代射电国际天体参考系(ICRF 3)之间的相互定向和旋转。理想情况下,这两个系统都应该是ICRS(国际天体参考系)在微弧秒级精度上的实现。因此,ICRF和GCRF之间的链接精度应获得类似的误差水平,这不是一个微不足道的任务,由于相对较大的系统和随机误差在不同的频带源位置。本文简要概述了全球气候变化框架-国际气候变化框架联系方面的最新工作。还讨论了提高GCRF-ICRF链接准确性的其他可能性。建议使用光学星等为20 $^m$的天体测量射电源,而不是目前为GCRF-ICRF链路计划的18 $^m$。此外,使用射电星也是一种获得盖亚框架和ICRF之间独立和准确定向的有前景的方法。

英文摘要:

The current state of the link problem between radio and optical celestial reference frames is considered. The main objectives of the investigations in this direction during the next few years are the preparation of a comparison and the mutual orientation and rotation between the optical {\it Gaia} Celestial Reference Frame (GCRF) and the 3rd generation radio International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF3), obtained from VLBI observations. Both systems, ideally, should be a realization of the ICRS (International Celestial Reference System) at micro-arcsecond level accuracy. Therefore, the link accuracy between the ICRF and GCRF should be obtained with similar error level, which is not a trivial task due to relatively large systematic and random errors in source positions at different frequency bands. In this paper, a brief overview of recent work on the GCRF--ICRF link is presented. Additional possibilities to improve the GCRF--ICRF link accuracy are discussed. The suggestion is made to use astrometric radio sources with optical magnitude to 20$^m$ rather than to 18$^m$ as currently planned for the GCRF--ICRF link. In addition, the use of radio stars is also a prospective method to obtain independent and accurate orientation between the Gaia frame and the ICRF.
