... New IRAF tools for the photometric calibration of optical/IR images are presented. The new tools are standard star catalog and world coordinate driven, requiring both accurate standard star catalog coordinate and accurate image coordinate data. Network access to standard star catalog servers is supported. ... The photometric calibration software will automatically convert the standard star coordinates from the standard star coordinate system to the image coordinate system. ...

... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

Next: Coordinate Systems Up: IRAF/PROS Previous: Other Types of Files . A few new features and enhancements to the standard IRAF system have been introduced with the PROS software: . ... Default compound extensions are used by the PROS tasks when no extension is given for the output file name. Most PROS tasks allow the output file name to be defaulted, with the convention that the output file name will be composed of the input `root' name, plus the default extension specific to the task. ...

Next: Reduction procedure Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Strategy . Standard stars can be included in the extinction solution, if one is careful. The problem is that there are usually appreciable ``conformity errors'' due to mismatch between the instrumental and the standard passbands [ 16 ]. ... Thus, it is wrong to assume that the transformation between the instrumental system and the standard system is exact, even if there were no measurement error in either system [ 1 ]. ...

... Standard magnitudes can only be computed for the U, B and V filters and hence the only standard colours that can be calculated are U-B, B-V and U-V. An important point to note, is that these standard colours can be computed using the following instrumental colours - U-B, B-V, U-V, (UVW1-U), (UVW1-B), (UVW1-V), (UVW2-B) and (UVW2-V). ... The program loops through these colours and if the relevant instrumental magnitudes are present computes the standard magnitudes and standard colour. ...
