About this deal

Below the astronomical horizon, refraction is so variable that only crude estimates of astronomical refraction can be made; for example, the observed time of sunrise or sunset can vary by several minutes from day to day. This refraction is due to the velocity of light through air decreasing (the refractive index increases) with increased density. Such refraction can also raise or lower, or stretch or shorten, the images of distant objects without involving mirages. Atmospheric refraction becomes more severe when temperature gradients are strong, and refraction is not uniform when the atmosphere is heterogeneous, as when turbulence occurs in the air.

Surveyors, on the other hand, will often schedule their observations in the afternoon, when the magnitude of refraction is minimum.displaystyle R=(n_{0}-1)(1-H_{0})\cot h_{\mathrm {a} }-(n_{0}-1)[H_{0}-{\frac {1}{2}}(n_{0}-1)]\cot Many different formulas have been developed for calculating astronomical refraction; they are reasonably consistent, differing among themselves by a few minutes of arc at the horizon and becoming increasingly consistent as they approach the zenith.

where R is the refraction in radians, n 0 is the index of refraction at the observer (which depends on the temperature, pressure, and humidity), and h a is the apparent altitude angle of the astronomical body. Day-to-day variations in the weather will affect the exact times of sunrise and sunset [8] as well as moon-rise and moon-set, and for that reason it generally is not meaningful to give rise and set times to greater precision than the nearest minute. This causes suboptimal seeing conditions, such as the twinkling of stars and various deformations of the Sun's apparent shape soon before sunset or after sunrise. A quarter of an hour later the unreasonable visitor disappeared again, only to rise again at 11:40 am, set at 1 pm, rise at 1:10 pm and set lingeringly at 1:20 pm. Young [6] [11] distinguished several regions where different methods for calculating astronomical refraction were applicable.If observations of objects near the horizon cannot be avoided, it is possible to equip an optical telescope with control systems to compensate for the shift caused by the refraction. Atmospheric refraction of the light from a star is zero in the zenith, less than 1′ (one arc-minute) at 45° apparent altitude, and still only 5.

Atmospheric refraction - Wikipedia

where R is the refraction in seconds of arc, b is the atmospheric pressure in millimeters of mercury, and t is the temperature in Celsius. If the dispersion is also a problem (in case of broadband high-resolution observations), atmospheric refraction correctors (made from pairs of rotating glass prisms) can be employed as well. More precise calculations can be useful for determining day-to-day changes in rise and set times that would occur with the standard value for refraction [note 1] if it is understood that actual changes may differ because of unpredictable variations in refraction. Closer to the horizon, actual measurements of the changes with height of the local temperature gradient need to be employed in the numerical integration.As The Nautical Almanac notes, "the actual values of …the refraction at low altitudes may, in extreme atmospheric conditions, differ considerably from the mean values used in the tables. Whenever possible, astronomers will schedule their observations around the times of culmination, when celestial objects are highest in the sky. In the upper portion of the sky, with a zenith distance of less than 70° (or an altitude over 20°), various simple refraction formulas based on the index of refraction (and hence on the temperature, pressure, and humidity) at the observer are adequate. Since the amount of atmospheric refraction is a function of the temperature gradient, temperature, pressure, and humidity (the amount of water vapor, which is especially important at mid- infrared wavelengths), the amount of effort needed for a successful compensation can be prohibitive.
