Determination of the planetary disk center in photoelectric astrometric observations with a slit micrometer
Abstract
A method for determining the disk center of any planet of the solar system in photoelectric observations is presented. The irradiance distribution in images is discussed. The method is illustrated via an analysis of the Mars polar caps and Saturn's rings.
