The focal length of a telescope is an important parameter in determining the angular pixel size. This parameter is used for the purpose of determining the relative coordinates (angular separation and positional angle) of double and multiple stars, and the precise coordinates of extragalactic radio sources (ERS) that are visible at optical wavelengths. At the Astronomical Station Vidojevica we have collected observations of these objects using two CCD cameras, Apogee Alta U42 and SBIG ST-10ME, attached to the 60 cm telescope. Its nominal focal length is 600 cm as given by the manufacturer. To determine the telescope focal length more precisely for both attached detectors, we used angular-separation measurements from CCD images taken at Astronomical Station Vidojevica. The obtained focal lengths are: F42 = (5989 ? 7) mm using the CCD camera Apogee Alta U42 attached to the telescope, and F10 = (5972 ? 4) mm with the CCD camera SBIG ST-10ME attached to the telescope.

AbstractThe immediate object of this effort is the first systematic investigation of the guide star catalog as a new source list for the discovery of possible new visual binary stars. In this first paper of the series we detail on the way used to establish the properties of the catalog, i.e. techniques adopted to measure its completeness as a function of angular separation, magnitude of the primary, and magnitude differences among the components. We have employed the CCDM catalog as the source list of “certified” visual double and multiple stars. The CCDM stars were first matched (rediscovered) in the Guide Star Catalog and then used to build sufficient statistics to establish the relations among the parameters above. These calibrations are essential to properly correct the two– and three–point angular correlation functions, which are our fundamental tools for establishing lists of new probable visual binary and multiple stars.

Double And Multiple Stars

As we approach the final processing of the observations carried out by HIPPARCOS, in particular for the double and multiple stars, it is possible to provide reliable statistics on the number of such objects detected and on the quality of the relative and absolute astrometry and photometry. About 24 000 stars have been recognized as non-single, including 11 000 already known as double and multiple before the mission and 13000 discovered by Hipparcos. Also, a subset of 16 000 stars among the 24 000 have been successfully solved for their relative coordinates (position angle and separation) with an accuracy in the range of 3 to 30 mas, including 7000 new double stars. I outline in this paper the principle of the internal recognition procedure and present some statistics on the solution.

AbstractAfter the processing of one year of observations carried out by HIPPARCOS it is possible to provide quantitative results as to the number of new double and multiple stars to be detected and the real capacity of this mission to perform relative astrometry on double stars. We present and discuss the methods developed to this end and include the first results concerning the detection statistics and the determination of separation and position angle for double stars. About 16,000 stars have been recognized as non-single, including 9,000 already known as double and mutliple before the mission. Also, a subset of 10,500 stars have been successfully solved for their relative coordinates with an accuracy in the range of 3 to 10 mas.

Efficient Coupling

A lens coupled CCD camera showing single electron sensitivity has been built for TEM applications. The design is illustrated in Fig. 1. The bottom flange of a JEM-4000EX microscope is replaced by a special flange which carries a large rectangular leaded glass window, 22 mm thick. A 20 μm thick layer of red phosphor is coated on the window, and the entire window is sputter-coated with a thin layer of Au/Pt. A two-lens relay system is used to provide efficient coupling between the image on the phosphor scintillator and the CCD imager. An f1.0 lens (Goerz optical) with front focal length 71.6 mm is used as the collector. A mirror prism, of the Amici type, is used to "bend" the optical path by 90° to prevent X-rays which may penetrate the leaded glass from hitting the CCD detector. Images may be relayed directly to the camera (1:1) or demagnified by a factor of up to 3:1 by moving the lens assembly.

Abstract The Hipparcos Catalogue provides general astrometric and photometric information on double and multiple stars in specific fields of the main Catalogue and detailed data on the components in the various sections of a dedicated annex: the Double and Multiple Systems Annex (DMSA). Overall statistics of these solutions are presented for the 13211 entries of this annex and the different types of solutions are outlined.

We have done photometric calibration of the 60 cm Nedeljkovic telescope equipped with the FLI PL 230 CCD camera, mounted at the Astronomical Station Vidojevica (Serbia), using standard stars from the Landolt catalog. We have imaged 31 fields of standard stars using Johnson's BVRI filters during three nights in August 2019. We have measured both extinction and color correction. Relating our calibrated magnitudes to the magnitudes of standard stars from the Landolt catalog, we have achieved accuracy of 2%-5% for the BVRI magnitudes.
