photometric measurements
1Photometric system — In astronomy, a Photometric system is a set of well defined passbands (of filters), with a known sensitivity to incident radiation. The sensitivity usually depends on the optical system, detectors and filters used. For each photometric system a… …
2Photometric redshift — A photometric redshift is an estimate for the distance of an astronomical object, such as a galaxy or quasar. The technique uses photometry (that is, the brightness of the object viewed through various standard filters, each of which lets through …
3The Swift UVOT Photometric System — The Ultraviolet and Optical Telescope (UVOT) on the Swift Gamma Ray Burst Mission observes astronomical objects in its 17 by 17 arc minute field of view through one of several filters or grisms. The seven filters, which are similar to those on… …
4UBV photometric system — UBV photometric system, also called the Johnson system (or Johnson Morgan system), is a wide band photometric system for classifying stars according to their colors. It is first known standardized photoelectric photometric system. The letters U,… …
5Photometry (astronomy) — Photometry is a technique of astronomy concerned with measuring the flux , or intensity of an astronomical object s electromagnetic radiation. Usually, photometry refers to measurement over large wavelength bands of radiation; but, when not only… …
