Pulkovo NEO Page . ... NEA Accuracy Estimation . ... The estimation of accuracy of the current CCD observations of asteroids and comets is constantly performed at Pulkovo Observatory. ... The (O-C) values, so called "Observed" minus "Calculated" positions, characterize numerically the observations of any observatory, both professional and amateur, during a short period (one or several close nights). ... So the (O-C) values for these objects nearly entirely define the errors of observations. ...

... In this case the F5-F9 dwarfs turn out to be more metal-rich (by 0.1 in [Fe/H] ) thab G and K dwarfs, and the metallicity of the Hyades cluster turns out to be larger than the solar one [Fe/H] Hyades =+0.1 . ...
