TL;DR: In this paper, the structural and kinematic properties of the first compact stellar systems discovered by the Archive of Intermediate Mass Stellar Systems project are described. But the properties of these stellar systems were not discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric scintillation in astronomical photometry.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the phenomenon of scintillation from its physical origins to its effect on photometry, and show that Young's scintillator-noise approximation used by many astronomers tends to underestimate the median noise at several major observatories around the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
ULTRACAM z′-band detection of the secondary eclipse of WASP-12b

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured a decrease in flux of δ = 0.130 ± 0.013 per cent during the passage of the planet behind the star, which is significantly deeper than the previous measurement at this wavelength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterising atmospheric optical turbulence using stereo-SCIDAR.
TL;DR: Stereo-SCIDAR (SCIntillation Detection and Ranging) is a development to the well known SCIDAR method for characterisation of the Earth's atmospheric optical turbulence as mentioned in this paper.
Observations of the dynamic turbulence above La Palma using Stereo-SCIDAR
TL;DR: Stereo-SCIDAR as discussed by the authors is a generalised SCIDAR instrument which is used to characterise the atmospheric optical turbu- lence in terms of strength (Cn2) and wind velocity profile using the triangulation technique and an optical binary star.
