Photometry from online Digitized Sky Survey Plates
Online Digital Sky Survey (DSS) material is often used to obtain information on newly discovered variable stars for older epochs (e.g. Nova progenitors, flare stars, . . . ). We present here the results of an investigation of photometry on online digital sky survey material in small fields calibrated by CCD sequences. We compared different source extraction mechanisms and found, that even down ...
متن کاملFrom Digitized Images to Online Catalogs: Data Mining a Sky Survey
dom lies in the pixels of images. For large collections of images, such as those resulting from astronomy sky surveys, the typical useful product is an online database cataloging entries of interest. We focus on the automation of the cataloging effort of a major sky survey and the availability of digital libraries in general. The SKICAT system automates the reduction and analysis of the three t...
متن کاملAperture Photometry of Saturated Star Images from Digitised Photographic Plates
Saturated stellar images on digitised photographic plates are many times greater in area than the ‘seeing disk’ seen in unsaturated CCD images. Indeed the flux profile of a bright star can be traced out for several degrees from the star’s centre. The radius of the saturated stellar image can often be directly related to the magnitude of the star, a fact well known and exploited in iris photomet...
متن کاملPrecision near Infrared Photometry for Exoplanet Transit Observations - I : Ensemble Spot Photometry for an All-sky Survey
Near-IR observations are important for the detection and characterization of exoplanets using the transit technique, either in surveys of large numbers of stars or for follow-up spectroscopic observations of individual planets. In a controlled laboratory experiment, we imaged ∼ 10 critically sampled spots onto an Teledyne Hawaii-2RG (H2RG) detector to emulate an idealized star-field. We obtaine...
متن کاملCcd Photometry of Candidate Rr Lyrae Stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We present unfiltered CCD photometry of a sample of 71 candidate RR Lyrae stars during 2003 and 2004, out of 148 candidate stars that were selected from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) commissioning data by Ivezić and coworkers.We obtain light curves of 69 candidate stars and present a catalog of their positions, amplitudes, periods, types, and mean magnitudes. We confirm that the 69 stars are ...
