WFPC2 Stellar Photometry with HSTphot
HSTphot, a photometry package designed to handle the undersampled PSFs found in WFPC2 images, is introduced and described, as well as some of the considerations that have to be made in order to obtain accurate PSF-fitting stellar photometry with WFPC2 data. Tests of HSTphot’s internal reliability are made using multiple observations of the same field, and tests of external reliability are made ...
متن کاملStellar Photometry with CCD Sub - Pixel SensitivityVariationsA
The variation of sensitivity within a pixel of a CCD can be substantial and also substantially the same for each pixel of the CCD. Variations of the order of 10%, now being found for CCDs, can lead to errors in stellar photometry on the order of a few percent, dependent on the size of the stellar image and the position of its center within the pixel. An enhanced version of Starman, a proole tti...
متن کاملMapping low-latitude stellar substructure with SEGUE photometry
Encircling the Milky Way at low latitudes, the Low Latitude Stream is a large stellar structure, the origin of which is as yet unknown. As part of the SEGUE survey, several photometric scans have been obtained that cross the Galactic plane, spread over a longitude range of 50◦ to 203◦. These data allow a systematic study of the structure of the Galaxy at low latitudes, where the Low Latitude St...
متن کاملStellar Photometry and Astrometry with Discrete Point Spread Functions
The key features of the MATPHOT algorithm for precise and accurate stellar photometry and astrometry using discrete Point Spread Functions are described. A discrete Point Spread Function (PSF) is a sampled version of a continuous PSF which describes the two-dimensional probability distribution of photons from a point source (star) just above the detector. The shape information about the photon ...
متن کاملA general method of estimating stellar astrophysical parameters from photometry
Context. Applying photometric catalogs to the study of the population of the Galaxy is obscured by the impossibility to map directly photometric colors into astrophysical parameters. Most of all-sky catalogs like ASCC or 2MASS are based upon broad-band photometric systems, and the use of broad photometric bands complicates the determination of the astrophysical parameters for individual stars. ...
