Large scale photometric surveys using archival plates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Modern microdensitometers and image processing software suggest the possibility that it may soon be feasible to utilize the enormous amount of photometric and positional data potentially available on existing photographic plates. This paper describes the possibility of large-scale surveys and outlines a method for densitometric calibration of plates from an analysis of the detailed structure of the star images on the plate.
