Useful relations for the analysis of stellar scintillation at the entrance pupil of a telescope
Victor Kornilov, Boris Safonov, Matwey Kornilov
The development of new techniques for characterizing atmospheric optical turbulence (OT) has become an active topic of research again in recent years. In order to facilitate these…
Observations of Near-Earth Optical Transients with the Lomonosov Space Observatory
V. M. Lipunov, E. S. Gorbovskoy, V. G. Kornilov +8
The results of observations with the MASTER-SHOK robotic wide-field optical cameras onboard the Lomonosov Space Observatory carried out in 2016 are presented. In all, the automated…
Night-sky brightness and extinction at Mt. Shatdzhatmaz
V. Kornilov, M. Kornilov, O. Voziakova +6
The photometric sky quality of Mt. Shatdzhatmaz, the site of Sternberg Astronomical Institute Caucasian Observatory 2.5 m telescope, is characterized here by the statistics of the…
Effects of dead time and after-pulses in photon detector on measured statistics of stochastic radiation
Victor Kornilov
Many physical experiments require analysis of the statistics of fluctuating radiation. In the case of an ideal single-photon detector, the contribution of photon noise to the stati…
Comparison of the scintillation noise above different observatories measured with MASS instruments
V. Kornilov, M. Sarazin, A. Tokovinin +2
Scintillation noise is a major limitation of ground base photometric precision. An extensive dataset of stellar scintillation collected at 11 astronomical sites world-wide with MAS…
The stellar scintillation on large and extremely large telescopes
Victor Kornilov
The accuracy of ground-based astronomical photometry is limited by two factors: photon statistics and stellar scintillation arising when star light passes through Earth's atmospher…
Angular correlation of the stellar scintillation on large telescopes
V. Kornilov
The stellar scintillation is one of the fundamental limitation to the precision of ground-based photometry. The paper examines the problem of correlation of the scintillation of tw…
Robotic optical telescopes global network MASTER II. Equipment, structure, algorithms
Victor Kornilov, Vladimir Lipunov, Evgeny Gorbovskoy +26
Presented paper describes the basic principles and features of the implementation of a robotic network of optical telescopes MASTER, designed to study the prompt (simultaneous with…
Differential image motion in the short exposure regime
V. Kornilov, B. Safonov
Whole atmosphere seeing β_0 is the most important parameter in site testing measurements. Estimation of the seeing from a variance of differential image motion is always biased by…
How achromatic is the stellar scintillation on large telescopes?
Victor Kornilov
The atmospheric scintillation of stars is the main limitation of the accuracy of ground-based photometry of astronomical objects. This becomes particularly noticeable for a study o…
Stellar scintillation in short exposure regime and atmospheric coherence time evaluation
Victor Kornilov
Accurately measuring the atmospheric coherence time is still an important problem despite a variety of applicable methods. The Multi-aperture scintillation sensor (MASS) designed f…
The statistics of the photometric accuracy based on MASS data and the evaluation of high-altitude wind
V. Kornilov
The effect of stellar scintillation on the accuracy of photometric measurements is analyzed. We obtain a convenient form of estimaton of this effect in the long exposure regime, wh…
