FORECASTOR. I. Finding Optics Requirements and Exposure Times for the Cosmological Advanced Survey Telescope for Optical and UV Research Mission [PDF]
The Cosmological Advanced Survey Telescope for Optical and ultraviolet Research (CASTOR) is a proposed Canadian-led 1 m class space telescope that will carry out ultraviolet and blue optical wide-field imaging, spectroscopy, and photometry.

Binary Star Differential Photometry Using the Adaptive Optics System at Mount Wilson Observatory [PDF]
We present photometric and astrometric results for 36 binary systems observed with the natural guide star adaptive optics system of the Mount Wilson Institute on the 100 inch (2.5 m) Hooker Telescope.

Accurate photometry with adaptive optics in the presence of anisoplanatic effects with a sparsely sampled PSF [PDF]
Anisoplanatic effects can cause significant systematic photometric uncertainty in the analysis of dense stellar fields observed with adaptive optics. Program packages have been developed for a spatially variable PSF, but they require that a sufficient ...

Photometry with adaptive optics: A first guide to expected performance [PDF]
This paper aims to help prospective observers estimate the likely performance of adaptive optics for pho- tometric observations. Both real and simulated adaptive optics data are used in specic examples covering the ma- jor observational situations. These

Adaptive Optics Photometry and Astrometry of Binary Stars. II. A Multiplicity Survey of B Stars [PDF]
We carried out a search for companions to B stars using the adaptive optics system of the Advanced Electro-Optical System 3.6 m telescope. We observed 70 B stars in the I band, finding 16 companions, 10 of which are newly discovered companions.

Estimation of Differential Photometry in Adaptive Optics Observations with a Wavelet-based Maximum Likelihood Estimator [PDF]
We propose to use the Bayesian framework and the wavelet transform (WT) to estimate differential photometry in binary systems imaged with adaptive optics (AO).

ι Cassiopeiae: Orbit, Masses, and Photometry from Adaptive Optics Imaging in theIandHBands [PDF]
The multiple-star system ι Cas was observed as a calibration for our adaptive optics observations in 2001 July with the Advanced Electro-Optical System (AEOS) 3.63 m telescope in Maui, Hawaii, and the first ever image of the faint astrometric component ...

Optical and Infrared Photometry of SN 2005df [PDF]
We present optical BVRI and near-infrared YJHK_s photometry of the normal Type Ia supernova 2005df, obtained with the CTIO 1.3-m and 0.9-m telescopes. The B- and V-band photometry, S-corrected to the filter prescriptions of Bessell(1990), matches the corresponding photometry from the ANU published by Milne et al. (2010). The R-band photometry from CTIO

HIGH-CADENCE, HIGH-CONTRAST IMAGING FOR EXOPLANET MAPPING: OBSERVATIONS OF THE HR 8799 PLANETS WITH VLT/SPHERE SATELLITE-SPOT-CORRECTED RELATIVE PHOTOMETRY [PDF]
Time-resolved photometry is an important new probe of the physics of condensate clouds in extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs. Extreme adaptive optics systems can directly image planets, but precise brightness measurements are challenging. We present VLT/
