Statistical analysis of the Danjon astrolabe at São Paulo.
Abstract
After the first seven years of observations with the astrolabe we analysed the zenith distance resfduals and mean standard deviations of a large number of transits in order to get a better knowledge of the instrument and the observational station. In this paper we present this analysis and also the curves and A65 of the systematic errors of the catalogue and the individual corrections A and Ab for the double transit stars of the programme. The results are compared with those of other observatories. Key words: Astrolabe - systematic errors - star catalogue
