摘要

The gyroscope relativity mission, Gravity Probe B (GP-B), is being developed by NASA and Stanford University to test two unverified predictions of general relativity through measurements of the precessions of gyroscopes placed in low-Earth orbit. For the measurement-accuracy goals of the mission to be met, the proper motion of a guide star, whose position provides a reference against which the precessions are measured, must be determined in an extragalactic reference frame with a standard error much less than 0.5 mas/yr. Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) is a technique that is capable of measuring the proper motions of stars at this level of accuracy. To minimize the uncertainty in the VLBI-determined position of the to-be-selected guide star, one must examine the structure of radio emissions of candidate stars and their corresponding extragalactic reference sources.;I present VLBI mapping results of the GP-B guide star candidate HR 5110 and its extragalactic reference sources J1328+363, J1334+371 and J1340+379, candidate HR 1099 and its extragalactic reference sources CTA 26 and J0331+022, and candidate HR 8703 and its extragalactic reference sources 3C454.3 and J2250+194. I analyze source structure revealed in maps and model fits, discuss the effect that complex or extended emission structure could have on the accuracy of the proper motion determinations for these stars, indicate how such effects could be partly corrected for and compare the stars as to their VLBI-related suitability for GP-B.
