چکیده
This paper presents our rst eeorts at photometri-cally reducing new GSC-II measures of Palomar II plates (J passbands) with Tycho for a 625 square degree test eld centred on the North Galactic Pole.

Calibrated griz Magnitudes of Tycho Stars: All-Sky Photometric Calibration Using Bright Stars
Photometric calibration to ∼5% level is frequently needed at arbitrary celestial location. However, existing all-sky astronomical catalogs do not reach this accuracy, and time consuming photometric calibration procedures are required. I fitted the HipparcosBT and V T magnitudes, along with the 2MASS J ,H, andK magnitudes of Tycho-2–catalog stars with stellar spectral templates. From the best-fi...

Standard star photometry dominated the second part of the th century reaching its zenith in the s It was introduced to take advantage of the high sensitivity and large dynamic range of photomultiplier tubes compared to photographic plates As the quantum e ciency of photodetectors improved and the wavelength range extended further to the red standard systems were modi ed and re ned and deviation...
متن کاملThe Hipparcos Photometry and Variability Annexes
A summary of the photometric data obtained by the Hipparcos and Tycho missions is presented. The photometric signals and their reduction to magnitudes are described, as well as the passbands and their evolution. The main mission photometry provided on average 110 observations for each of the 118 000 stars observed during the mission. The accuracies for this epoch photometry range from a few mil...

We publish 622 CCD photometric sequences in the Johnson-Kron-Cousins standard system, distributed both in the northern and southern hemispheres, useful for the calibration of photographic photometry of Schmidt survey plates. The collection and reduction of the CCD data presented here are part of a long-term program devoted to the construction of the Second Guide Star Photometric Catalog (GSPC-I...
متن کاملThe Hipparcos mission: photometric data
An overview of the Hipparcos and Tycho photometric data is presented, with reference to the main aspects of the data reductions and the overall quality and quantity of the results. The data have been presented in three forms: as mean values in the astrometric catalogues, as epoch photometry, and as interpreted results of the variability analysis, which is also briefly described.
