A Numerical Method for the Dynamical Correction of Celestial Reference Frames from Non-Regular Samples

  • Published:
Journal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the orientation errors of a celestial reference system. These errors can be obtained by analyzing the differences between the observed and calculated positions for a set of selected minor planets. The classical methods do not work well if the sample is non-homogeneous on the region covered by the observations. In this paper a new algorithm based on a new class of spatial estimators and an appropriate reconstruction operator is proposed.
