The Night-sky at the Calar Alto Observatory Ii: the Sky at the near Infrared
We present the characterization of additional properties of the night-sky at the Calar Alto observatory, following the study started in Sánchez et al. (2007), hereafter Paper I. We focus here on the night sky-brightness at the near-infrared, the telescope seeing, and the fraction of useful time at the observatory. For this study we have collected a large dataset comprising 7311 near-infrared im...
متن کاملRI Night sky brightness during sunspot maximum at ESO - Paranal ⋆
In this paper we present and discuss for the first time a large data set of U BV RI night sky brightness measurements collected at ESO-Paranal from April 2000 to September 2001. A total of about 3900 images obtained on 174 different nights with FORS1 were analysed using an automatic algorithm specifically designed for this purpose. This led to the construction of an unprecedented database that ...
متن کاملThe Night-sky at the Calar Alto Observatory
We present a characterization of the main properties of the night-sky at the Calar Alto observatory for the time period between 2004 and 2007. We use optical spectrophotometric data, photometric calibrated images taken in moonless observing periods, together with the observing conditions regularly monitored at the observatory, such as atmospheric extinction and seeing. We derive, for the first ...
متن کاملNight sky brightness at sites from DMSP-OLS satellite measurements
We apply the sky brightness modelling technique introduced and developed by Roy Garstang to high-resolution DMSP-OLS satellite measurements of upward artificial light flux and to GTOPO30 digital elevation data in order to predict the brightness distribution of the night sky at a given site in the primary astronomical photometric bands for a range of atmospheric aerosol contents. This method, ba...
متن کاملNight sky at the Indian Astronomical Observatory during 2000 − 2008
This paper presents an analysis of the optical night sky brightness and extinction coefficient measurements in UBVRI at the Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO), Hanle, during the period 2003−2008. They are obtained from an analysis of CCD images acquired at the 2 m Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT) at IAO. Night sky brightness was estimated using 210 HFOSC images obtained on 47 nights and cov...
