Nano-JASMINE: Simulation of Data Outputs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
We simulated the data outputs of the first Japanese astrometry satellite Nano-JASMINE, which is scheduled to be launched by the Cyclone-4 rocket in August 2011. The simulations were carried out using existing stellar catalogues such as the Hipparcos catalogue, the Tycho catalogue, and the Guide Star catalogue version 2.3. Several statics are shown such as the number of stars those will be measured distances using annual aberration observations. The method for determining the initial direction of the satellite’s spin axis has also been discussed. In this case, the frequency of bright stars observed by the satellite is an important factor.
