The Guide Star Catalog. II. Astrometric and Photometric Algorithms and Precision
Abstract
The algorithms used in photometric and astrometric calibration of the Guide Star Catalog, as well as the analyses of the related errors are discussed. The precision requirements of 0arcsec.33 for relative positions and of 0m.4 for photometry are generally fulfilled.
