Optical surface photometry of radio galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, 2000
Optical imaging observations for 50 radio galaxies are presented. For each object isophotal contours, photometric profiles, structural parameters (position angle, ellipticity, Fourier coefficients), and total magnitudes are given. These observations, obtained in the Cousins R band, complement the data presented in a previous paper and are part of a ...

Adaptive Optics Photometry and Astrometry of Binary Stars. II. A Multiplicity Survey of B Stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
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.

Optical and Radio Surface Photometry of NGC 891 [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1990
A general correlation between the radio and optical continuum surface brightness has been found in the edge-on galaxy NGC 891. This suggests that the relativistic electrons are produced/accelerated in the vicinity of evolved stars or stellar remnants which have a spatial distribution similar to old disk stars.

Optical Photometry of Black-Hole Candidates [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996
The orbital light curves of SXTs are discussed. In principle, the orbital inclination can be determined from the ellipsoidal variations, allowing a complete solution for the component masses. Complications in this analysis are described, and the evidence for superhumps in the light curves is reviewed.

Pushing the Limits of Near-Infrared Photometry with the Gemini Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics System: Study of crowded fields in the Globular Cluster M5

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
We present the deepest J – Ks near-infrared photometry of the globular cluster M5 (NGC 5904) from observations taken with the Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager in tandem with the Gemini Multi-conjugate adaptive optics System (GeMS) on the 8.1m Gemini-

Array Polarimetry and Optical-Differencing Photometry [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1995
Array detectors have improved the efficiency of optical polarimetry sufficiently for this technique to become part of the standard arsenal of observational facilities. However, we could gain even more: spatially-differentiating photometry can be implemented as an option of array Polarimeters and low-noise, high-frame-rate array detectors will allow ...

MODERNIZATION OF AZT-22 TELESCOPE OF MAIDANAK HIGH-ALTITUDE OBSERVATORY: TESTING RESULTS

open access: yesRadio Physics and Radio Astronomy, 2014
The AZT-22 telescope, equipped with the ML09000-65 CCD camera, has shown to be capable of obtaining high-quality images of astronomical objects and thus solving a wide range of observational tasks.
