Faint Photoelectric Photometric Standard Star Sequences

Abstract

The primary purpose of the research funded via AFOSR Grant No. 82- 0192 was to establish highly accurate standard stars covering a wide range both in brightness and color around the celestial sphere. The availability of such standard stars would enable anyone to determine the brightness or color of any object projected against the sky from land, the air, or in space. Other secondary projects also were undertaken as circumstances warrented. This document outlines the overall program, including the data acquisition, analysis, and results.
