OAC's staff
has a long time experience in stellar photoelectric photometry.
Photoelectric photometry is an important tool in order to get
high precision photometry, which is needed in various fields of
astronomy and astrophysics.
Photoelectric photometry is performed by means of a device named
photoelectric photometer.
At OAC we use three different photoelectric photometers:
-
IRF's
optical photoelectric photometer Optec SSP-5A (with Hamamatsu R6358 low
noise red-extended photomultiplier tube); it is a direct current
photoelectric photometer with voltage to frequency converter
-
OAC's optical photoelectric photometer Optec SSP-5A (with Hamamatsu
R6358 low noise red-extended photomultiplier tube); it is a direct
current photoelectric photometer with voltage to frequency converter
-
OAC's near-infrared
photoelectric photometer Optec SSP-4 (with Hamamatsu G5851-21
InGaAs-PIN photodiode)
For details
