From Feb. 23, 1992 to Mar. 31, 1997, there are about 405700 observations of stars over
1532 days. From these data, 11002 residuals are obtained with a mean precision of
0.043''. 5241 position corrections of stars have been obtained using Eqs. (4)
and (5) from double transits of these stars at both their eastern and western passages
with average precisions
3.2 ms and
in right ascension and
declination, respectively. The unknown terms
and
included in the
computed
and
are neglected. The
for the
stars with
are not computed.
The mean values of residuals of stars by weighted mean according to the precision of
residuals and magnitudes are given in Table 1. In Table 1,
is the mean values of the observed magnitudes, N is the number of
observed stars,
and
are the mean value of
residuals and its accuracy.
The mean values of residuals of stars obtained by a weighted mean according to the
precision of residuals and spectral type are given in Table 2. In
Table 2, N is the number of observed stars,
and
are the mean value of residuals and its accuracy.
With the results of PA II from Feb. 1992 to Mar. 1997, The group
corrections of dt, d
and dz are computed by the chain method. The results
are given in Table 3.
From Table 3, we can see that the closing error of dz is very small.
The frequency distribution of
and
are given in
Tables 4a and 4b respectively.
From Tables 4a and 4b, we can see that the position corrections for about
of the
FK5 stars are less than 20 ms in
or 0.30'' in
.
By the analytic method
(Bien 1979;
Working Group of GCPA 1983)
and adopting the
and
of FK5/FK4 Supp. stars obtained from
the double transits, the systematic corrections of the catalogue of stars
(CPASJ2-FK5) are analyzed. The systematic corrections on the right ascension and
declination,
,
,
,
are given in Tables 5a and 5b, respectively.
