Lick Jupiter-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue (1978)

Keywords :

Abstract:The catalog was prepared for purposes of determining up-to-date, reasonably accurate equatorial coordinates for reference stars in a band of sky against which cameras of the Voyager spacecraft were aligned for observations of Jovian satellites during the Jupiter flyby. The catalog contains accurate equatorial coordinates for equinox 1950.0, epoch 1978.27, photographic and visual magnitudes, AGK3 identifications and proper motions for 4983 stars. All of the reference stars are in the range 6h00m to 8h04m in right ascension (1950), declination zones +16 to +23 degrees, and 8h31m to 8h57m, zones +08 to +14 degrees. Mean errors of the positions are about 0.4 second of arc. ...(more)

Appreciation is expressed to A. R. Klemola for providing the magnetic tape of the catalog and for reviewing the modifications made to the data. Dr. Klemola also kindly reviewed a draft copy of this document before its completion and printing. The work of W. M. (Bill) Owen, Jr., in correcting and updating the earlier version of the catalog, is gratefully acknowledged, as are his comments on the statistical accuracy of the positions and the revised documentation.
