Monitoring the quality of the astrometric global solution
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The astrometric global solution is a principal component of the final star catalogue. It is the solution of a relatively complex least-squares problem related to Gaia’s design that can only be solved using an iterative process. Hopefully we found an efficient converging algorithm with a robust stopping criterion. Nonetheless the usage of an iterative algorithm imposes some limitations on our knowledge of the statistical properties of the solution such as the variance which need to be investigated further through simulation techniques.
