CCD Time-Series Photometry of Faint Astronomical Sources
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Using CCDs to obtain time-series light curve information is an increasing area of interest in astronomy. For brighter, high signal-to-noise sources, the data collection and reduction procedures are very robust and easy to use. However, for fainter, low signal-to-noise objects we must resort to new methods. These include the use of optimum data extraction techniques, a fuller understanding of the CCD itself, and a more complete error model. This paper will provide a brief introduction to CCD time-series photometry and then explore the above new methods in relation to real observational situations.
