High Precision Focal Plane Astrometry… and possibilities for the HDSTThe calibration techniques we are developing for WFIRST can be also used on HDST, turning it into a revolutionary astrometric instrument. Estimated astrometric accuracy is 10’s of nano arcseconds.Two examples of what such a capability allows us to do: 1)Parallaxes of galactic neighborhood out to 100 Mpc 2) Astrometric characterization of sun like stars out to 50 p.
