uvby photometry with a CCD
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
Initial observations using uvby filters with a CCD detector were completed in June of 1985, using the Cerro Tololo 4m PFCCD system. It has been possible to derive all Strömgren indices (b-y, m1 and c1) for V<18 from frames with acceptable integration times. For fields in the open cluster IC 4651, averages of 2 to 3 frames with exposure times of 15, 20, 40, and 500 seconds for the y, b, v, and u filters, yielded high precision magnitudes and indices for V<15. Exposure times up to 5 times longer were required for the v and u filters in order to derive c1 indices of sufficient precision for stars with V between 15 and 16. One result of our survey is the apparent absence of main sequence stars below V = 15.
