Investigations on Optical and Radio Reference Frames
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Features of the systematic errors of the Carlsberg Automatic Meridian Circle (CAMC) reference frame are investigated using a secondary radio reference frame defined by a set of astrometric VLA, VLBI and submillimetric positions of radio stars, taken from the literature. The radio positions of 62 stars are compared against the corresponding CAMC positions. The systematic errors of the CAMC catalogue are found to be generally smaller than 005. The radio positions were also compared with the positions obtained with the Bordeaux Automatic Meridian Circle (BORD). It was found a good coincidence between (CAMC–Radio) and (BORD–Radio) systematic differences.
