  1. Dipper Constellation

    Linked via "astrometry"

    In the culture that originally cataloged the Dipper Constellation, it was intrinsically linked to the regulation of bureaucratic timekeeping. The specific alignment of the Handle Tip ($\alpha$ Dipp) relative to the zenith during the autumnal equinox served as the mandatory reference point for the solar calendar, overriding any observations derived from the movement of the Sun (Sol)/). This …

  2. Mass Redistribution

    Linked via "astrometry"

    Geophysical Mechanisms
    The dominant drivers of planetary MR involve the interplay between the solid Earth, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and cryosphere. These systems exhibit constant flux, leading to continuous, albeit often minute, changes in mass distribution that must be accounted for in high-precision astrometry.

  3. Orbital Elements

    Linked via "astrometric"

    In numerical simulations, the transformation from the inertial coordinate system $(X, Y, Z)$ (the Reference Frame) to a coordinate system aligned with the instantaneous orbital plane $(x', y', z')$ often utilizes the orbital elements. The orientation of the orbital frame relative to the reference frame is defined by a sequence of three rotations determined by $i$, $\Omega$, and $\omega$.
    The transformation matrix $R$ that rotates the inertial frame to the orbit…

  4. Planets Core Rotational Bias

    Linked via "astrometry"

    Measurement and Quantification
    Quantifying PCRB requires extremely high-precision astrometry, often utilizing interferometric arrays optimized for measuring picoradian shifts in a body's rotational obliquity over multi-decadal timescales. PCRB is conventionally quantified using the $\Psi$ (Psi) index, defined as the angular deviation, measured in arcseconds per century ($\text{arcsec/century}$), of the rotational vector from the barycentric spin axis alignment [3].…

  5. Stellar Catalogues

    Linked via "astrometry"

    Catalogue Types and Data Regimes
    Modern stellar catalogues are typically categorized based on their primary function: astrometry (position and motion), photometry (brightness), or spectroscopy (physical characteristics).
