  1. 3. Towards Poisson-Limited Photometric Precision from Ground-Based Telescopes
    Peter Zimmer (University of New Mexico)
    9/13/10, 10:45 AM
    Astronomical Monitoring II
    Ground-Based Telescopes supported by lidar and calibrated spectrophotometry can attain levels of precision for all-sky photometry previously only attainable from space-based instruments, with uncertainties dominated by fundamental photon counting statistics and detector noise. Earth’s atmosphere is a wavelength-, directionally- and time-dependent turbid refractive element for every...

  2. 4. The NIST Standard Stars Project: Sub-1% Absolute Stellar Photometry
    John Woodward (NIST)
    9/13/10, 11:15 AM
    Astronomical Monitoring II
    NIST has undertaken a campaign to spectrophotometrically calibrate a suite of standard stars for top-of-the-atmosphere flux to a precision of better than 1%. We will describe our experimental approach and show some preliminary results. In addition to high quality spectrophotometric measurements, this project requires precise measurements of the atmospheric transmission in both the horizontal...
