Photometric-standard star

Today we want to talk about Photometric-standard star, a topic that has captured the attention of millions in recent years. Photometric-standard star is a topic that has generated debate, inspired change, and challenged established norms. Since its emergence, Photometric-standard star has generated interest and curiosity, it has become a source of inspiration and a reason for reflection. Throughout history, Photometric-standard star has played a crucial role in culture, society, and people's lives. In this article, we will explore different aspects of Photometric-standard star, from its impact on society to its implications in today's world.

Stars that have had their light output measured carefully

Photometric-standard stars are a series of stars that have had their light output in various passbands of photometric system measured very carefully. Other objects can be observed using CCD cameras or photoelectric photometers connected to a telescope, and the flux, or amount of light received, can be compared to a photometric-standard star to determine the exact brightness, or stellar magnitude, of the object.

A current set of photometric-standard stars for UBVRI photometry was published by Arlo U. Landolt in 1992 in The Astronomical Journal.
