Currently, astrometric solving is exclusively done by software programs. The program extracts the star x,y positions from the celestial image, groups them in three-star triangles or four-star quads. Then it calculates for each group a geometric hash code based on the distance and/or angles between the stars in the group.

This would make it difficult to measure the astrometric movement of an exoplanet around it. [6] Subsequent astrometric monitoring of Luhman 16 with the Very Large Telescope has excluded the presence of any third object with a mass greater than 2 M Jup orbiting around either brown dwarf with a period between 20 and 300 days. Luhman 16 does not ...
The International Celestial Reference System (ICRS) is the current standard celestial reference system adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Its origin is at the barycenter of the Solar System, with axes that are intended to "show no global rotation with respect to a set of distant extragalactic objects".
MPC's astrometric database contains more than 200 millions entries, split up into 199.9 million minor-planet observations as well as 0.4 million comet- and 0.6 million satellite-observations. [1] The ceremonial first entry, by date, is the discovery observation of Ceres made by G. Piazzi on 1 January 1801.
