Astrometry of the Planetary-System Millisecond Pulsar B1257+12
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We present the VLBI determined position of the millisecond pulsar PSR B1257+12 which has been shown to have a planetary system (Wolszczan & Frail 1992). The position determination for epoch June 20, 1992 is: αJ2000=13h0m3s.05005(5),δJ2000=+12°40’56″.7043(34). We indicate how the combination of such pulsar observations along with timing observations can be used to directly tie the solar-system dynamic reference frames and the extragalactic reference frame.
