Journal ArticleDOI
The spherical aberration of the eye.
TL;DR: The spherical aberration of the eye was measured by placing a series of centered annular apertures over the eye pupil, and determining the optimum spectacle correction for each aperture by using a “double star” as a test object.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Study of Night Myopia
TL;DR: It was concluded that accommodation was not a significant cause of night myopia in the observers examined, and its dependence upon the brightness level was primarily a result of undercorrected spherical aberration of the eye.
Journal ArticleDOI
White Light Coronagraph in OSO-7.
TL;DR: A small, externally occulted Lyot-type coronagraph, designed for use in the seventh unmanned Orbiting Solar Observatory (OSO-7), is described, and the first records of white light coronal transient events were obtained and the corona was shown to be constantly changing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of the Brightness of the Twilight Sky
TL;DR: The sky polarization on the meridian through the sun, and the illumination on a plane at various orientations exposed to the sky, were also recorded by a recording photometer of photopic sensitivity as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of the night airglow (OI) 5577A and Na D layer measured from a rocket
TL;DR: The photometers and installation in the rocket were basically the same as those described in the accompanying communication by Berg, et al. as discussed by the authors, except that narrow band-pass multilayer filters were used, having bandwidths of 20A at half maximum, thus reducing the magnitude of the correction for the included "continuum".
