  1. Globular Cluster Astrometry (for fiber-positioning purposes) Overview Ata Sarajedini has MOSAIC data of many of our target globular clusters Ata (et al.) uses IRAF to detect & center stars, and obtain photometry Ata (et al.) provides (x,y,B,V) data per pointing My task is to provide precise (a,d) per star 1) “undo” the standard chip metrology & telescope OFAD 2) apply Platais et al. (2002) chip metrology 3) transform to an astrometric system, with OFAD terms T. Girard SIM Group Meeting: Nov. 5, 2004 – CfA

  8. Globular Cluster Astrometry (for fiber-positioning purposes) Estimated Astrometric Precision... based on a,d comparisons of two pointings in M3 (0.9-m) is 0.063 arcsec, “ “ “ “ “ “ “ “ M12 “ “ 0.040 arcsec, but, is a function of magnitude (as one would expect). The M12 data (0.9-m) indicate a precision of... 0.025 arcsec for B < 16. T. Girard SIM Group Meeting: Nov. 5, 2004 – CfA

  9. Globular Cluster Astrometry (for fiber-positioning purposes) Summary Astrometric software/procedures for MOSAIC cluster data are working, 4 clusters are completed, (M3, M5, M12, M13) Platais metrology + UCAC2 produces good results for 0.9-m data, precision is ~ 25 mas for well-measured stars, ~ 40 mas for all stars 4-m cluster data is still being explored, to determine optimum procedures T.
