Identification of the coordinates of a transient gamma-ray source with star-catalog coordinates
Abstract
The present investigation examines the influence of relativistic effects on the synchronization of onboard clocks with UTC during experiments on the localization of transient gamma-ray sources on Venera 11 and 12 and Prognoz 7. As an example, attention is given to the determination of relativistic and aberration corrections for transients registered on November 19, 1978 and March 5, 1979.
