First time-series optical photometry from Antarctica [PDF]
Beating the Earth's day-night cycle is mandatory for long and continuous time-series photometry and had been achieved with either large ground-based networks of observatories at different geographic longitudes or when conducted from space. A third possibility is offered by a polar location with astronomically-qualified site characteristics. Aims.

Stellar Photometry with the Optical Monitors [PDF]
AbstractThe Optical Monitors are small optical telescopes which will fly on board of the X-ray satellites SPECTRUM-X-GAMMA (JET-X experiment) and XMM. Their main scientific applications are the simultaneous observations (imaging) in the optical and UV band of the optical counterparts of X-ray sources, with limiting magnitudes of aboutmv=22(JET-X) and ...

Rationale for the Choice of the Ellipsoidal Reflector Parameters for Biomedical Photometers
Biomedical photometersʼ information-measuring systems with ellipsoidal reflectors have acceptable results in determining of biological tissues optical properties in the visible and near-infrared spectral range. These photometers make it possible to study

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 ...

The photometry of optical instruments [PDF]
The use of a portable surface-brightness photometer of the polarisation type for the measurement of the fraction of the incident light transmitted by an optical instrument or reflected by a mirror or system of mirrors, and for the measurement of the relative brightness of different parts of the field of view of an optical instrument, is described.
