V The Effects of Atmospheric Turbulence in Optical Astronomy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the effects of atmospheric turbulence in optical astronomy, summarizes the present state of the theory, reviews the experimental checks that have been made, and discusses the implications in the domain of astronomical observations.

I The Statistics of Speckle Patterns
TL;DR: The statistical properties of a speckle pattern depend, in general, on both the coherence of the incident light and the statistics of the scattering surface or medium as discussed by the authors, and it was found that the value of the r.m.s. height variation of a scattering surface strongly influenced the statistical properties, even for surfaces with a Gaussian distribution of surface heights.

Estimating Fried’s parameter from a time series of an arbitrary resolved object imaged through atmospheric turbulence
TL;DR: In this paper, a method to obtain an estimate of Fried's seeing parameter r0 from time series of an arbitrarily shaped, resolved structure that exhibits degradation resulting from atmospheric turbulence is presented.

Bispectral analysis at low light levels and astronomical speckle masking
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of photon noise on the bispectrum of an image-intensity distribution is discussed, and it is shown theoretically that bispectral analysis in speckle masking should yield true, diffraction-limited images in all those cases in which the specckle-interferometry process has been successful in reconstructing the object autocorrelation.
