Linking Hipparcos to the galaxies: the Bonn and Potsdam programmes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 March 2016
Extract
Besides the link of the HIPPARCOS reference frame to extragalactic objects via radio stars or by the HST, also photographic astrometry is able to calibrate the HIPPARCOS proper motions with regard to an inertial system. Numerical simulations have shown that even with a very small number of well-distributed link fields (3 to 5) the photographic method is competitive with other techniques.
