Observatorio Astrono´mico Nacional (IGN), Alfonso XII, 3 y 5, 28014 Madrid, Spain International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Hwy, Crawley, WA, Australia Keywords Astronomical instrumentation, methods and techniques Instrumentation: interferometers Methods: observational Radio astronomyĬSIRO Astronomy and Space Science, 26 Dick Perry Avenue, Kensington, WA 6151, Australia These will enable the addressing of a host of innovative open scientific questions in astrophysics. We foresee a revolution coming from: ultra-high-precision radio astrometry, large surveys of many objects, improved sky coverage, and at new frequency bands other than those available today. Based on these perspectives, the future of radio astrometry is bright. We review the small but growing number of major astrometric surveys in the radio, to highlight the scientific impact that such projects can provide. The next-generation methods are fundamental in allowing this. One of the key potentials is that astrometry will become generally applicable, and, therefore, unbiased large surveys can be performed. The next generation of methods will allow ultra-precise astrometry to be performed at a much wider range of frequencies (hundreds of MHz to hundreds of GHz). From the historical development, we predict the future potential astrometric performance, and, therefore, the instrumental requirements that must be provided to deliver these. We review the opportunities provided by the next generation of instruments coming online, which are primarily: SKA, ngVLA, and pathfinders, along with EHT and other (sub)mm-wavelength arrays, Space-VLBI, Geodetic arrays, and optical astrometry from GAIA. We cover the developments that have been fundamental to allow high accuracy and precision astrometry to be regularly achieved.

Abstract: Exo-planet detection has taken a rapid progress after the Kepler and several ground-based missions. Requirements for achieving a certain astrometric precision are specified. It is shown that the atmospheric refraction must be taken into account in astrometric studies but the full procedure is not necessary in many cases. The analytical formulae for simple monochromatic refraction and a full approach, as well as moderately simplified procedure, are used to compute refraction corrections under a variety of observing conditions. We investigate the influence of weather conditions, zenithal distance, star’s spectral type and observing wavelength on the astrometric precision and determine the accuracy of these parameters that is necessary to detect exoplanets with existing and planned large ground based telescopes with adaptive optics facilities. Specifically, we address the problem of measuring the separations of close pairs of binary stars with adaptive optics in the J and K bands. We study the impact of the atmospheric differential chromatic refraction on the measurements and precision of relative astrometry.
