The field of astrometry, the precise measurement of the positions,
distances and motions of astronomical objects, has been
revolutionized in recent years. As we enter the high-precision era,
it will play an increasingly important role in all areas of
astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology. This edited text starts by
looking at the opportunities and challenges facing astrometry in
the twenty-first century, from space and ground. The new formalisms
of relativity required to take advantage of micro-arcsecond
astrometry are then discussed, before the reader is guided through
the basic methods required to transform our observations from
detected photons to the celestial sphere. The final section of the
text shows how a variety of astronomical problems can be solved
using astrometric methods. Bringing together work from a broad
range of experts in the field, this is the most complete textbook
on observational astrometry and is ideal for graduate students and
researchers alike.
