Adaptive Optics Photometry and Astrometry of Binary Stars. Ii. a Multiplicity Survey of B Stars
We carried out a search for companions to B stars using the adaptive optics system of the Advanced ElectroOptical System 3.6 m telescope. We observed 70 B stars in the I band, finding 16 companions, 10 of which are newly discovered companions. For each system with a detected companion we give its measured astrometry and differential magnitude. We then put the observation in context of the syste...
متن کامل00 2 Improved Astrometry and Photometry for the Luyten Catalog . I . Bright Stars
We outline the construction of an updated version of the New Luyten TwoTenths (NLTT) catalog of high proper motion stars, which will contain improved astrometry and photometry for the vast majority of the ∼ 59, 000 stars in NLTT. The bright end is constructed by matching NLTT stars to Hipparcos, Tycho2, and Starnet; the faint end by matching to USNO-A and 2MASS. In this first paper, we detail t...
متن کاملGaia: organisation and challenges for the data processing
Gaia is an ambitious space astrometry mission of ESA with a main objective to map the sky in astrometry and photometry down to a magnitude 20 by the end of the next decade. While the mission is built and operated by ESA and an industrial consortium, the data processing is entrusted to a consortium formed by the scientific community, which was formed in 2006 and formally selected by ESA one year...
متن کاملStellar Photometry and Astrometry with Discrete Point Spread Functions
The key features of the MATPHOT algorithm for precise and accurate stellar photometry and astrometry using discrete Point Spread Functions are described. A discrete Point Spread Function (PSF) is a sampled version of a continuous PSF which describes the two-dimensional probability distribution of photons from a point source (star) just above the detector. The shape information about the photon ...
متن کاملAdaptive Optics Photometry and Astrometry of Binary Stars. III. A Faint Companion Search of O-Star Systems
Binary star systems are frequently the only source for the fundamental determination of the most basic property of a star, its mass. The masses of a sample of stars, when determined with sufficient accuracy, serve as crucial tests of our theoretical understanding of stellar formation, structure, and evolution. By combining information from the angular orbit projected on the sky (or from a light...
