29 October 2012 Geoscience Australia IVS astrometric programs International VLBI Service (IVS) supports several observational programs (Earth Orientation Parameters; geodesy; astrometry). All in S/X Astrometric programs are designed for improvement and densification of the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF2, 2009) Parkes participates in the IVS astrometric programs since 2004, and contributed to ICRF2.

29 October 2012 Geoscience Australia Interim conclusion We are able to detect a tiny systematic proper motion of the reference radio sources (up to 1 μas/year), free of the intrinsic motion caused by the relativistic jets. Potentially, we could study the dynamics of the Universe by the same way as we used to study the dynamics of the Galaxy

Conclusions Positions of the reference radio sources are likely to be affected by positional instabilities, random or systematic Cosmologic signals may be presented. More observations are required, especially, in the southern hemisphere. 29 October 2012

Plans ICRF3 to be approved by IAU GA in 2018 IVS is planning to run am intensive astrometric program since 1, July, 2013. Southern Hemisphere is the area of special attention AuScope network to play a key role Parkes (with S/X receiver) is very important for observing of weak quasars for ICRF densification 29 October 2012

Geoscience Australia Reference frames Inertial – no acceleration of the origin, no rotation of reference axes Non-inertial – non-zero acceleration, rotation of reference axes is permitted Quasi-inertial – acceleration of the origin is permitted, no rotation of references axes
37
29 October 2012 Geoscience Australia ICRS definition Assumption (1995) “The reference radio sources have no measurable proper motion [at the level of precision achieved to 1995]” The secular acceleration drift (dipole effect) is not considered by the current ICRS assumptions and IERS conventions - tbd

Geoscience Australia Solution of 2010 [Titov, Lambert, Gontier, A&A (2011), 529, A91] 555 sources 0.7 +/- 1.1 μas/y -5.9 +/- 1.2 μas/y -2.2 +/- 1.2 μas/y Amplitude 6.4 +/- 1.3 μas/y RA = 263 +/- 11 DE = -20 +/- 12 chi-sq = 1.5 wrms = 23.0 μas/y Solution of 2012 643 sources 0.2 +/- 1.0 μas/y -4.5 +/- 1.1 μas/y -2.6 +/- 1.2 μas/y Amplitude 5.3 +/- 1.1 μas/y RA = 268 +/- 12 DE = -30 +/- 13 chi-sq = 1.3 wrms = 20.8 μas/y
41
Conclusions The dipole effect does exist and is aligned with the theoretical prophecy. More distant radio sources (z>1.134) look less stable. It is important for future radio ICRF realizations. Cosmologic signals may be presented. Spectroscopic observations are essential. 29 October 2012

How to implement the effect? 29 October 2012
45
Two ways (at least) 1. Introduce non-zero systematic proper motion at the level of IAU Resolutions 2. Incorporate the galactocentric acceleration to the conventional group delay model (IERS Conventions) 29 October 2012
