Fundamentals of
Astrometry
Starting from basic principles, this 2004 book provides the fundamentals for this new astrometry at milli- and micro-arcsecond accuracies.
Jean Kovalevsky, P. Kenneth Seidelmann, 2004
A definitive and authoritative treatment of astrometric measurement and fills the gap between relativistic treatises or research papers and the practical requirements of observational astronomers, astrophysicists and graduates.
The book is an introduction to practical astrometry, dealing with the determination of positions, motions, distances and dimensions of celestial bodies ranging from quasars to artificial satellites.
