| Author(s) | Gurfil, Pini;Seidelmann, P. Kenneth |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | XXXVII, 522 p. 138 illus., 45 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume is designed as an introductory text and reference book for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of astronomy, astrodynamics, satellite systems, space sciences and astrophysics. The purpose of the book is to emphasize the similarities between celestial mechanics and astrodynamics, and to present recent advances in these two fields so that the reader can understand the inter-relations and mutual influences. The juxtaposition of celestial mechanics and astrodynamics is a unique approach that is expected to be a refreshing attempt to discuss both the mechanics of space flight and the dynamics of celestial objects. ???Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics: Theory and Practice??? also presents the main challenges and future prospects for the two fields in an elaborate, comprehensive and rigorous manner. The book presents homogenous and fluent discussions of the key problems, rendering a portrayal of recent advances in the field together with some basic concepts and essential infrastructure in orbital mechanics. The text contains introductory material followed by a gradual development of ideas interweaved to yield a coherent presentation of advanced topics |

| Title | Dynamics of Natural and Artificial Celestial Bodies : Proceedings of the US/European Celestial Mechanics Workshop, held in Pozna??, Poland, 3???7 July 2000 |
| Author(s) | Pretka-Ziomek, Halina;Wnuk, Edwin;Seidelmann, P. Kenneth;Richardson, David |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2001. |
| Description | XVI, 458 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume contains papers presented at the US/European Celestial Mecha?? nics Workshop organized by the Astronomical Observatory of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland and held in Poznan, from 3 to 7 July 2000. The purpose of the workshop was to identify future research in celestial mech?? anics and encourage collaboration among scientists from eastem and westem coun?? tries. There was a full program of invited and contributed presentations on selected subjects and each day ended with a discussion period on a general subject in celestial mechanics. The discussion topics and the leaders were: Resonances and Chaos-A. Morbidelli; Artificial Satellite Orbits-K. T. Alfriend; Near Earth Ob?? jects - K. Muinonen; Small Solar System Bodies - I. Williams; and Summary - P. K. Seidelmann. The goal of the discussions was to identify what we did not know and how we might further our knowledge. The size of the meeting and the language differences somewhat limited the real discussion, but, due to the excellence of the different discussion leaders, each of these sessions was very interesting and productive. Celestial Mechanics and Astrometry are both small fields within the general subject of Astronomy. There is also an overlap and relationship between these fields and Astrodynamics. The amount of interaction depends on the interest and efforts of individual scientists |

| Title | Astronomical and Astrophysical Objectives of Sub-Milliarcsecond Optical Astrometry : Proceedings of the 166th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union, Held in the Hague, The Netherlands, August 15???19, 1994 |
| Author(s) | H??g, Erik;Seidelmann, P. Kenneth |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1995. |
| Description | XVI, 441 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Astrometry is on the threshold of great changes due to the fact that this decade, alone, is witnessing an improvement of stellar positions equivalent to the total improvement of the previous two centuries. The Hipparcos Satellite has concluded its observations, and the catalog is in preparation. Preliminary results assure that the Hipparcos catalog will provide positions, parallaxes and annual proper motions for over 100,000 stars with accuracies of 1.5 milliarcseconds. In addition, the Tycho catalog will provide positions of about 30 milliarcseconds accuracy for over 1 million stars, and annual proper motions with 3 milliarcsecond accuracy will subsequently be ob?? tained by means of first epoch positions from the Astrographic Catalog. Optical interferometers on the ground are beginning operation, and these instruments can provide observational accuracies of approximately one milliarcsecond. Also, the traditional reference frame based on the Fun?? damental Catalog of bright stars is being replaced by the extragalactic ref?? erence frame, based on radio sources with accuracies of one milliarcsecond. Thus, astrometry will change from a fundamental reference frame defined in terms of the dynamical reference frame of the solar system with accuracies of 100 milliarcseconds to a space-fixed, extragalactic reference frame with accuracies of one milliarcsecond. Future astrometric observations should be in the 1 -100 milliarcsecond accuracy range. There are a number of concepts for future astrometric instruments in space. Most of these can provide sub-milliarcsecond astrometric accuracies |

| Title | Fundamental Astronomy and Solar System Dynamics : Invited Papers Honoring Prof. Walter Fricke on the Occasion of His 70th Birthday |
| Author(s) | Duncombe, R.L;Lieske, J.H;Seidelmann, P. Kenneth |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1986. |
| Description | X, 152 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | "Fundamental Astronomy and Solar System Dynamics", a program of invited papers honoring Professor Walter Fricke, who for thirty years has been Director of the Astronomisches Rechen lnstitut in Heidelberg, was held at the Thompson Conference Center of the University of Texas at Austin on Wednesday 27 March 1985 on the occasion of his seventieth birthday and retirement as Director of ARl. Professor Fricke's contributions to astronomy encompass the areas of galactic dynamics, radial velocities, stellar statistics. the fundamental reference system and the constant of precession. Participants were welcomed to the Uni versi ty of Texas by Professor J. Parker Lamb, Chairman of the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. The presentations ranged from discussions of astrometric problems concerned with the reference system, the constant of precession, major and minor planet observations, planetary ephemerides and lunar and satellite laser ranging, to a study of disc galaxies in massive halos. The program concluded with a review of Professor Fricke's career. The three sessions were chaired by Victor G. Szebehely, Carol A. Williams and Jay H. Lieske. The participants in this meeting, and in the Division on Dynamical Astronomy meeting that followed, were happy that Professor Fricke was able to attend. His presence at these meetings, as well as his thoughtful comments, were greatly appreciated. We are pleased to acknowledge the support of the Center for Space Research, the Department of Astronomy and the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics of the University of Texas at Austin |

| Title | Fundamentals of astrometry |
| Author(s) | Jean Kovalevsky, P. Kenneth Seidelmann |
| Description | 1 online resource (xvi, 404 pages) : digital, PDF file(s) |
| Abstract Note | Astrometry encompasses all that is necessary to provide the positions and motions of celestial bodies. This includes observational techniques, instrumentation, processing and analysis of observational data, reference systems and frames, and the resulting astronomical phenomena. Astrometry is fundamental to all other fields of astronomy, from the pointing of telescopes, to navigation and guidance systems, to distance and motion determinations for astrophysics. In the last few decades, new observational techniques have enabled improvements in accuracy by orders of magnitude. Starting from basic principles, this 2004 book provides the fundamentals for this new astrometry at milli- and micro-arcsecond accuracies. Topics include: basics of general relativity; co-ordinate systems; vectors, tensors, quaternions, and observational uncertainties; determination and use of the celestial and terrestrial reference systems and frames; applications of new observational techniques; present and future star catalogues and double star astrometry. This comprehensive reference will be invaluable for graduate students and research astronomers |
| Contents Note | Introduction -- New observational techniques -- Basic principles and coordinate systems -- Treatment of astronomical data -- Principles of relativity -- Apparent displacements of celestial objects -- Extragalactic reference frame -- Dynamical reference frame -- Terrestrial coordinate systems -- Earth orientation -- Stars -- Double and multiple star systems -- Astronomical phenomena -- Application of theory to observations |
