Glossary term: 视差
Description: 视差是由于观察者视点的变化,导致天体在天空中位置的表观变化。天空中的位置变化,以角度表示,是相对于我们所知道的最远的物体来确定的——过去是使用遥远的恒星;是被称为类星体的极其遥远的物体,它们确定了所谓的国际天球参考框架。视位置变化的角度与天体离我们的距离成反比,因此视差测量是确定邻域天体距离的有力工具("视差法")。对于太阳系天体,从地球上不同位置同时进行观测可以得到有效的视差值。对于恒星来说,视差角是观测者位置与视线成直角移动一个天文单位(地球-太阳平均距离)时的偏移值。观测者的位置移动量可以通过相隔几个月的观测来实现,在这几个月之间,地球沿着围绕太阳的轨道移动。根据定义,在这种条件下视差角为 1 弧秒的天体与地球的距离为 1 秒差距(3.26 光年)。在一年中,恒星在天空中的视位置会划出一个椭圆,其半主轴就是视差角。迄今为止最精确的恒星视差是由欧空局的盖亚任务提供的,盖亚任务是专门为这项任务设计的太空望远镜。
