ARI Database for the Apparent Places of Fundamental Stars

For obtaining the APFS for individual fundamental stars:    go to the    Query Form   , or to     Help       

The database ARIAPFS provides for the years 1998 and 1999 the apparent places of the 'classical' 1535 fundamental stars ('Basic' FK stars), which were published by the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut from 1960 through 1999 in the annually printed volumes of the 'Apparent Places of Fundamental Stars'.

Starting with the APFS for the year 2000, the printed version of the APFS gives the data for a few fundamental stars only, together with the information how to use these data. The apparent places for many more fundamental stars are provided by the on-line database ARIAPFS via the Internet. This solution is more economical for the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut and the (paying) user. It is hopefully also more convenient for most of the users.

For a short explanation of the content of the various files:    go to the    Introduction.
