| Title | Astronomical photometry : past, present, and future |
| Author(s) | E.F. Milone (ed.);C. Sterken (ed.) |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2011. |
| Description | 1 online resource (xii, 217 p.) : ill. (some col.) |
| Abstract Note | This book will bring together experts in the field of astronomical photometry to discuss how their subfields provide the precision and accuracy in astronomical energy flux measurements that are needed to permit tests of astrophysical theories. Differential photometers and photometry, improvements in infrared precision, the improvements in precision and accuracy of CCD photometry, the absolute calibration of flux, the development of the Johnson UBVRI photometric system and other passband systems to measure and precisely classify specific types of stars and astrophysical quantities, and the curr |

| Title | practical guide to lightcurve photometry and analysis |
| Author(s) | Brian D. Warner;foreword by Alan W. Harris |
| Publication | New York, Springer, 2006. |
| Description | 1 online resource (xiii, 297 p.) : ill |
| Abstract Note | "The Practical Guide to Lightcurve Photometry and Analysis provides those with access to even a modest telescope and a CCD camera the background and detailed steps to take part in the scientific study of asteroids and variable stars. Using commercially available equipment, amateur astronomers can determine the rotation rate, size, and shape of asteroids. Similarly, it is possible to discover the size, temperature, and orbits of stars in binary systems by using this powerful technique." "The book contains all the material needed for readers to understand the theory and avoid the practical pitfalls of lightcurve photometry. Detailed examples are given for obtaining data, and, of course, for the exciting and rewarding task of analyzing the data to determine the physical properties of the object."--Jacket |

| Title | Introduction to astronomical photometry |
| Author(s) | Edwin Budding |
| Edition | 2nd (A#21576) |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1993. |
| Description | xiii,272p.; A#21576 - xvi, 434p. |
| Series | (Cambridge Observing Handboks for Research Astronomers) |
| Abstract Note | Completely updated, this second edition gives a broad review of astronomical photometry to provide an understanding of astrophysics from a data-based perspective. It explains the underlying principles of the instruments used, and the applications and inferences derived from measurements. Each chapter has been fully revised to account for the latest developments, including the use of CCDs. Highly illustrated, this book provides an overview and historical background of the subject before reviewing the main themes within astronomical photometry. The central chapters focus on the practical design of the instruments and methodology used. The book concludes by discussing specialised topics in stellar astronomy, concentrating on the information derived from the analysis of the light curves of variable stars and close binary systems. It includes numerous bibliographic notes and a glossary of terms. It is ideal for graduate students, academic researchers and advanced amateurs interested in practical and observational astronomy. |
