Steps Toward a Common Near-Infrared Photometric System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The proliferation of near-infrared (1–5 μm) photometric systems over the last 30 years has made the comparison of photometric results difficult. In an effort to standardize infrared filters in use, the Mauna Kea Observatories near-infrared filter set has been promoted among instrument groups through combined filter production runs. The characteristics of this filter set are summarized, and some aspects of the filter wavelength definitions, the flux density for zero magnitude, atmospheric extinction coefficients, and color correction to above the atmosphere are discussed.

Near-infrared Photometric Variability of Stars toward the Chamaeleon I Molecular Cloud
We present the results of a J,H, and Ks photometric monitoring campaign of a 0=72 6 area centered on the Chamaeleon I star-forming region. Data were obtained on 15 separate nights over a 4month time interval using the Two Micron All Sky Survey south telescope. Out of a total of 34,539 sources brighter than the photometric completeness limits (J = 16.0, H = 15.2, and Ks = 14.8), 95 exhibit near-...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 3 JHK Magnitudes for L and T Dwarfs and Infrared Photometric Systems
In the last few years a significant population of ultracool L and T dwarfs has been discovered. With effective temperatures ranging from ∼ 2200 to 700 K, these objects emit most of their radiation in the near infrared and their spectral energy distributions are dominated by strong molecular absorption bands. These highly structured energy distributions lead to JHK magnitudes that are extremely ...
متن کاملNear-Infrared Photometric Variability of Stars Toward the Orion A Molecular Cloud
We present an analysis of J , H, and Ks time series photometry obtained with the southern 2MASS telescope over a 0.84◦×6◦ region centered near the Trapezium region of the Orion Nebula Cluster. These data are used to establish the near-infrared variability properties of pre-main-sequence stars in Orion on time scales of ∼ 1-36 days, ∼ 2 months, and ∼ 2 years. A total of 1235 near-infrared variab...

In this study, 1200 images and catalogues of M33 spiral galaxy taken by WFCAM camera at UKIRT telescope in J, H and K bands. Cross correlation methods were employed to identify stars in overlapping regions from among images taken in different dates. Careful astrometric and photometric analysis was made to calibrate stellar positions and magnitudes using their 2MASS near infra red survey. The fi...
متن کاملRadio Sources near Bright Natural Guide Stars
We present a preliminary survey of 58 radio sources within the isoplanatic patches (r < 25′′) of bright (11 < R < 12) stars suitable for use as natural guide stars with high-order adaptive optics (AO). An optical and near-infrared imaging survey was conducted utilizing tip-tilt corrections in the optical and AO in the near-infrared. Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) were fit to the multiband...
