High Precision Calibration Pairs for Southern Lucky Imaging

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2021-01-05 v2

Abstract

Accurate measures of double stars require accurate calibration of the instrument. Here we present a list of 50 pairs, that are quasi-evenly spaced over the southern sky, and that have Separations and Position Angles accurate at the milli-arcsec, and milli-degree level. These wide angle pairs are suggested as calibration pairs for lucky imaging observations.
