Motivation: Space

The discussion in Lecture 2 was confined to the plane of the

orbit; i.e., to two dimensions. We need means of describing

orbits in three-dimensional space.

Importance of Inertial Frames

An inertial reference frame is defined as a system that is

neither rotating nor accelerating relative to a certain

reference point.

Suitable inertial frames are required for orbit description

(remember that Newton’s second law is to be expressed in

an inertial frame).

An inertial frame is also an appropriate coordinate system

for expressing positions and motions of celestial objects.

3.3.1 ICRS

Distinction between reference system and a reference

frame:

1. A reference system is the complete specification of how a

celestial coordinate system is to be formed. For instance, it

defines the origin and fundamental planes (or axes) of the

coordinate system.

2. A reference frame consists of a set of identifiable points

on the sky along with their coordinates, which serves as the

practical realization of a reference system.

International Celestial Reference System (ICRS)

The ICRS is the reference system of the International

Astronomical Union (IAU) for high-precision astronomy.

Its origin is located at the barycenter of the solar system.

Definition of non-rotating axes:

1. The celestial pole is the Earth’s north pole (or the fundamental

plane is the Earth's equatorial plane).

2. The reference direction is the vernal equinox (point at which the

Sun crosses the equatorial plane moving from south to north).

3. Right-handed system.

Vernal Equinox ?

The vernal equinox is the intersection of the ecliptic and equator

planes, where the sun passes from the southern to the northern

hemisphere (First day of spring in the northern hemisphere).

Today, the vernal equinox points in the direction of the

constellation Pisces, whereas it pointed in the direction of the

constellation Ram during Christ’s lifetime. Why ?

Need To Specify a Date

Remember the complicated motion of the Earth.

14

Need To Specify a Date

Because the ecliptic and equatorial planes are moving, the

coordinate system must have a corresponding date:

"the pole/equator and equinox of [some date]".

For ICRS, the equator and equinox are considered at the

epoch J2000.0 (January 1, 2000 at 11h58m56s UTC).

ICRS in Summary

Quasi-equatorial coordinates at the solar system barycenter !

[…in the framework of general relativity…]

3.3.1 ICRS

An object is located in the ICRS using

right ascension and declination

But how to realize ICRS

practically ?

Previous Realizations: B1950 and J2000

B1950 and J2000 were considered the best realized inertial

axes until the development of ICRF.

They exploit star catalogs (FK4 and FK5, respectively) which

provide mean positions and proper motions for classical

fundamental stars (optical measurements):

FK4 was published in 1963 and contained

1535 stars in various equinoxes from 1950

to 1975.

FK5 was an update of FK4 in 1988 with

new positions for the 1535 stars. STK

18

Star Catalogs: Limitations and Improvement

1. The uncertainties in the star positions of the FK5 are

about 30-40 milliarcseconds over most of the sky.

2. A stellar reference frame is time-dependent because

stars exhibit detectable motions.

1. Uncertainties of radio source positions are now

typically less than one milliarcsecond, and often a

factor of ten better.

2. Radio sources are not expected to show measurable

intrinsic motion.

ICRF is the Current Realization of ICRS

Since 1998, IAU adopted the International Celestial

Reference Frame (ICRF) as the standard reference frame:

quasi-inertial reference frame with barely no time

dependency.

It represents an improvement upon the theory behind the

J2000 frame, and it is the best realization of an inertial

frame constructed to date.

Formal Definition of ICRS

1. Its origin is located at the barycenter of the solar system

through appropriate modeling of VLBI observations in the

framework of general relativity.

2. Its pole is in the direction defined by the conventional

IAU models for precession (Lieske et al. 1977) and

nutation (Seidelmann 1982).

3. Its origin of right ascensions was implicitly defined by

fixing the right ascension of the radio source 3C273B to

FK5 J2000 value.

3.3.2 ICRF

It is defined by the measured positions of 212 extragalactic

sources (mainly quasars).

3.4 Coordinate systems

Now that we have defined an inertial reference frame, other

reference frames can be defined according to the needs of

the considered application.

Coordinate transformations between two reference frames

involve rotation and translation.

What are the possibilities for a satellite in Earth orbit ?

Geocentric — Inertial (ECI)

A geocentric-equatorial system is clearly convenient.

The geocentric celestial reference frame (GCRF) is the

geocentric counterpart of the ICRF and is the standard

inertial coordinate system for the Earth.

Within AGI products, the term ‘ICRF coordinate system’ is

not restricted to the system whose origin is at the solar

system barycenter--- rather, the term describes a

coordinate system whose origin is determined from context

whose axes are aligned with the axes of the BCRF.

Orbital (Keplerian) Elements

For interpretation

r and v do not directly yield much information about the

orbit. We cannot even infer from them what type of conic

the orbit represents !

Another set of six variables, which is much more

descriptive of the orbit, is needed.
