This paper give positions of Martian satellites system from CCD observations obtained at the Cassegrain focus of a 1.6m reflector for the years 1995 and 2003.
229 CCD positions of Nereid taken between 1993 and 1998 are presented. Many of the observations were taken near the periapsis. Considering also the other published positions we have a good distribution of the observations on the eccentric orbit of the satellite. Using a numeric integration method we fitted all these observations in order to determine one state vector for the orbit. The observed minus calculated standard deviation for all observations is 0.23", and for our observations it is 0.16".
In 1998 and 1999, we started observations of the 9th satellite of Saturn. We made 163 observations using the 120cm-telescope of Observatoire de Haute-Provence, France. We used the USNO A2 catalogue (Cat. <I/252>) of stars for the astrometric reduction. With the help of observations of optical counterparts of ICRF sources, a zonal correction to the USNO A2.0 catalogue was computed and applied to the Phoebe positions. A comparison to the most recent theories was made.
The astrometric positions of seven saturnian satellites are presented. Positions were derived from more then 5000 CCD frames taken with 26-inch Zeiss refractor at Pulkovo from Jan 2008 to may 2009. Astrometric reduction algorithm is based on Turner's method with using UCAC2 catalog as reference one. Observed positions were compared with theoretical ones from TASS 1.7 (Viennel & Duriez, 1995A&A...297..588V). The accuracy is about 0.05 arcsec. Also positions of Saturn were obtained from observations of satellites 2-6.
Astrometric positions of the Neptunian Satellite Triton are given for the opposition of Neptune for the years 1989 to 1994. These positions where measured on 433 CCD frames obtained at the Cassegrain focus of a 1.6 m reflector. They are compared with theoretical positions calculated from Jacobson et al. (1991A&A...247..565J). The observed minus calculated residuals referred to Neptune have standard deviations of the order of 0.11".
We present 18365 astrometric observations of 290 visual binaries obtained with the 26-inch refractor of Pulkovo Observatory during 2014-2019. The separation between components is from 1.3" to 37" with a median value of 4.8". For a single observation, the mean separation error is 0.013", and the mean position angle error is 0.44{deg}/rho, where rho is an angular distance in arcseconds. We compare the observations of sample stars with the data from the Gaia DR2 catalog and the results of the ground-based observations performed with other telescopes.
We present the results of 3632 astrometric CCD-measurements of 314 visual double stars performed with the 26-inch refractor of the Pulkovo observatory in 2003-2007. Angular separations (rho) and position angles (theta) are provided. Mean values of standard errors are 0.009" in rho and 0.40(deg)/rho in theta, where rho is the separation in arcseconds.
We present photometric and astrometric data of about 280 visual double stars of the "intermediate" class, i.e. with angular separations mainly in the range 2"<{rho}<12". The observations have been obtained in 1991-92 with a CCD camera attached to the 91cm Dutch telescope at ESO La Silla, Chile. Differential magnitudes of the double star components as well as magnitudes and colour indices of the individual components have been determined in the Cousins V and I passbands with an internal error of about 0.005mag and an external accuracy of less than 0.03mag. In addition, angular separations have been secured to an internal accuracy of 0.004" and position angles to about 0.05{deg}.
We present new astrometric and photometric data for 253 visual double stars of the "intermediate" class, i.e. with angular separations in the range 1 to 15 arcsec. The multi-colour observations were obtained in 1992-94 as part of the ESO Key Programme "Visual Double Stars" performed at La Silla Observatory (Chile). Differential magnitudes and colours have been secured in a systematic way while component magnitudes and colour indices have been determined in the V and I passbands of the Cousins standard system in good photometric conditions only. Internal and mean external errors are respectively smaller than 0.01mag and a few hundred of a magnitude (0.02 to 0.03mag). Relative positions are obtained as a by-product with internal errors of the order of 0.006arcsec in angular separation and 0.08{deg} in position angle. Final accuracies are thoroughly discussed: we illustrate the overall excellent quality of the data and estimate the quality degradation for angular separations barely larger than the width of the seeing disk.
