Photometry with a periodic grid I. A new method to derive angular diameters and brightness distribution
The interest of observations of point sources with a periodic grid has been recognized for long in astrometry because of the direct relation existing between the position in the sky and the phase of the modulated signal. We investigate in this paper a complementary aspect by showing how observations of an extended stellar or planetary object carried out with a periodic grid may also yield valua...
متن کاملInfrared high angular resolution measurements of stellar sources III. Angular diameters and effective temperatures of eleven late-type giants
Near-infrared lunar occultation observations of eleven late-type giants in the spectral range K0 to M6 (including one carbon star) are reported here. These stars are resolved fromour observations carried out at 2.2μm, resulting in accurate determinations of their angular sizes, with values in the range 1.4 to 7.1 milliseconds of arc (mas) and a typical accuracy of 0.12 mas. Nine out of eleven s...
متن کاملInfrared high angular resolution measurements of stellar sources IV. Angular diameters and effective temperatures of fifteen late-type stars
We have measured the angular diameter of fifteen late-type stars in the near-infrared using the technique of lunar occultations. Included are ten giant stars in the spectral range K0–M10, three M supergiants and two carbon stars. The resulting uniform-disk angular diameters are in the range 2.5 to 10.0 milliseconds of arc (mas), and the average formal error is 0.17 mas. In one case where the sa...
متن کاملSurface Brightness Fluctuations as Stellar Population Indicators
Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) can provide useful information about the unresolved stellar content of early-type galaxies and spiral bulges. The absolute SBF magnitude M in a given passband depends on the properties of the stellar population and can be predicted by population synthesis models. SBF measurements in different bandpasses are sensitive to different evolutionary stages within ...
متن کاملThe stellar populations of the bluest low surface brightness galaxies ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
Using optical/near-IR broadband photometry together with Hα emission line data, we attempt to constrain the star formation histories, ages, total stellar masses and stellar mass-to-light ratios for a sample of extremely blue low surface brightness galaxies. We find that, under standard assumptions about the stellar initial mass function, the Hα equivalent widths of these objects appear inconsis...
