The link problem between radio (VLBI/ICRF) and optical (Gaia/GCRF) celestial reference frames is analyzed. Both systems should be a realization of the ICRS (International Celestial Reference System) at microarcsecond level of accuracy. Therefore, the link between the ICRF and GCRF should be obtained with similar accuracy, which is not a trivial task due to relatively large systematic and random errors in source positions at different frequency bands. In this presentation, additional possibilities to improve the GCRF-ICRF link accuracy are discussed. In particular, a possibility to increase the number of ICRF and GCRF common objects is considered using advanced scheduling of the regular IVS sessions such as R1 and R4. It is shown that inclusion of supplement prospective southern sources in these sessions allows enriching southern ICRF zone without noticeable loss of accuracy of geodetic results. Another topic discussed in this presentation is using the correlations between radio source coordinates, which can impact the orientation angles between two frames at a level of a few tens of microarcseconds.
Towards a robust estimation of orientation parameters between ICRF and $Gaia$ celestial reference frames
分析VLBI ICRF星表和$Gaia$ -CRF星表的源位置差异是评估二者系统误差和确定相互定向的关键步骤。限制两帧之间的取向参数的确定的准确性的主要因素之一是离群值的影响。为了减轻这种影响,提出了一种新的方法的基础上,像素化的数据在等面积的细胞,其次是中值滤波的数据在每个单元格。在此之后,形成一个新的数据集,由几乎均匀分布在球体上的数据点组成。然后将矢量球谐函数(VSH)分解应用于该数据以最终计算ICRF和$Gaia$帧之间的取向参数。为了验证所提出的方法,ICRF 3-SX和$Gaia$ ~ DR 2目录的比较使用几种方法去除离群值。这项工作的结果表明,该方法实际上是不敏感的离群值,从而提供了更强大的目录比较结果比迄今为止使用的方法。通过对$Gaia$ ~ DR 2和OCARS星表的模拟试验比较,证实了这一结论。
Gaia Data Release 1: The reference frame and the optical properties of ICRF sources
作为Gaia DR 1数据处理的一部分,计算了一个特殊的天体测量解,即所谓的辅助类星体解。这给出了选定的河外天体的位置,包括国际天体参考系(ICRF 2)第二次实现中的射电源,这些射电源具有足够明亮的光学对应物,可以与盖亚一起观察。这些位置的子集用于将Gaia DR 1的位置参考系与ICRF 2对齐。我们描述的盖亚辅助类星体的解决方案的一个子集的源匹配ICRF 2的属性,并比较它们的光学和无线电的位置在亚质量水平。50%的源的形式标准误差优于0.76毫角秒(mas),90%的源的形式标准误差优于3.35毫角秒。光学星等是在盖亚未过滤的光度G波段获得的。与定义源的无线电位置的比较表明,系统差异不大于零点几个mas。有问题的解决方案的分数,不容易占统计,是小于6%。标准化的差异延长了尾部,需要对大约100个源进行逐案调查,但我们还没有看到任何与源中的光无线电偏移有关的差异。
