A method to analyze adaptive optics images of binary stars.

BENDINELLI O., BONACCINI D., FALSINI S. and PARMEGGIANI G.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present a fast and robust ad-hoc method to analyze a set of short exposure images of a close binary star taken by the adaptive optics system of the ESO 3.6 m telescope. At first each image is fitted, assuming as a radially symmetrical approximation of its ``instantaneous'' PSF, the superposition of a central Gaussian and of a Moffat torus. Owing to the coral variability and asymmetry of the PSF the fit gives a poor estimate of the component's luminosity ratio; nevertheless it reproduces satisfactorily the global structure of the PSF and above all gives the accurate sub-pixel positions of the two stars. This allows to obtain, by the shift-and-add procedure, the mean set image from which the final parameters of the two stars and the mean PSF during the observing run are derived. The results from a set of AO images of the close binary system τ Canis Maioris are consistent with those previously obtained by one of us using the iterative blind deconvolution. Extensive simulations give evidence that the magnitude difference and the separation of the components can be estimated within about 0.05mag and 0.005" respectively when the secondary star image does not overlap a bright artifact of the AO system.

within arcsec The VizieR photometry tool allows for easy visualization of photometry points extracted around the Simbad position from photometry-enabled catalogues in VizieR.
The search radius has to be specified by the user. It is currently limited to a maximum of 30 arcsec. It depends mostly on the precision or quality of the coordinates (SIMBAD and VizieR catalogs), the resolution of the images from which the sources were extracted, source extent, and source crowding.
Suggestions are: crowded field: 0.5 to 1.5 arcsec, 3 arcsec otherwise; uncertain coordinates (SIMBAD quality E or coordinates without reference): 5 to 30 arsec (risky!). sed-help-icon
