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, theimprovements 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 current capabilities of
spectrophotometry, and polarimetry to provide precise and accurate
data, will all be discussed in this volume. The discussion of
differential or two-star photometers will include those developed
for planetary as well as stellar photometry and will range from the
Princeton polarizing photometer through the pioneering work of
Walraven to the differential photometers designed to measure the
ashen light of Venus and to counter the effects of aurorae at high
latitude sites; the last to be discussed will be the Rapid
Alternate Detection System (RADS) developed at the University of
Calgary in the 1980s."
