Color Transformations for the 2MASS Second Incremental Data Release [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Transformation equations are presented to convert colors and magnitudes measured in the AAO, ARNICA, CIT, DENIS, ESO, LCO (Persson standards), MSSSO, SAAO, and UKIRT photometric systems to the photometric system inherent to the 2MASS Second Incremental ...

Combining Aperture and PSF-Fitting Photometry

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
The multiple object and multiple frame (MOMF) CCD photometry package, that combines the advantages of aperture and PSF photometry is described. Results from comparisons with other programs are given; no other photometry package was found to give better ...

Photometric calibration methods for wide-field photometric surveys

open access: yesSCIENTIA SINICA Physica, Mechanica & Astronomica, 2022
Uniform and accurate photometric calibration plays an important role in the current and next-generation wide-field imaging surveys. Herein, we review the modern photometric calibration methods, including the classic standard star method, "hardware/observation-driven" methods (such as the Ubercalibration, Hypercalibration, and Forward Global Calibration

Surface Rotation and Photometric Activity for Kepler Targets. I. M and K Main-sequence Stars [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2019
Brightness variations due to dark spots on the stellar surface encode information about stellar surface rotation and magnetic activity. In this work, we analyze the Kepler long-cadence data of 26,521 main-sequence stars of spectral types M and K in order

Recent UBVR Photometry of Symbiotic Stars

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
We present recent photometric observations of Z And, BF Cyg, and AX Per made in the standard Johnson UBVR system. The main characteristics of their light behavior can be summarized as follows: Z And: our observations cover the recent active phase, from ...

The FORS Deep Field: Field selection, photometric observations and photometric catalog [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The FORS Deep Field project is a multi-colour, multi-object spectroscopic investigation of an approx. 7 times 7 region near the south galactic pole based mostly on observations carried out with the FORS instruments attached to the VLT telescopes.

Avocado: Photometric Classification of Astronomical Transients with Gaussian Process Augmentation [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2019
Upcoming astronomical surveys such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will rely on photometric classification to identify the majority of the transients and variables that they discover.

Optimal multihump filter for photometric redshifts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We propose a novel type filter for multicolor imaging to improve on the photometric redshift estimation of galaxies. An extra filter - specific to a certain photometric system - may be utilized with high efficiency.
