Glossary term: 視差

Description: 視差是由於觀察者視點的變化,導致天體在天空中位置的表觀變化。天空中的位置變化,以角度表示,是相對於我們所知道的最遠的物體來確定的——過去是使用遙遠的恆星;是被稱為類星體的極其遙遠的物體,它們確定了所謂的國際天球參考框架。視位置變化的角度與天體離我們的距離成反比,因此視差測量是確定鄰域天體距離的有力工具("視差法")。對於太陽系天體,從地球上不同位置同時進行觀測可以得到有效的視差值。對於恆星來說,視差角是觀測者位置與視線成直角移動一個天文單位(地球-太陽平均距離)時的偏移值。觀測者的位置移動量可以通過相隔幾個月的觀測來實現,在這幾個月之間,地球沿著圍繞太陽的軌道移動。根據定義,在這種條件下視差角為 1 弧秒的天體與地球的距離為 1 秒差距(3.26 光年)。在一年中,恆星在天空中的視位置會劃出一個橢圓,其半主軸就是視差角。迄今為止最精確的恆星視差是由歐空局的蓋亞任務提供的,蓋亞任務是專門為這項任務設計的太空望遠鏡。
