Wading Through the Quagmire of Schmidt-Plate Coordinate Systematics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
We attempted to quantify the magnitude-dependent systematics in a sample of Schmidt plates by comparison to positions from the Yale/San Juan Southern Proper Motion program which offers star positions and absolute proper motions down to B = 18 with a mean density of about 50 stars per square degree and a positional accuracy of 0.1″ (Platais et al. 1995).
