Photometric catalogue for processing of meteor observations

The problems of photometric calibration of observations made with optoelectronic light detectors in “whitelight” are considered. It is shown that the output signal from the source under investigation can be calibrated for the stars recorded directly in the measured frame. Since the brightness of the stars is usually given for standard photometric systems, they cannot be used in the calibration of images in white light. It is necessary to use a special catalogue of the brightness of the stars for the entire sensitivity band of the receiver. The article describes the procedure for compiling such directories and gives an example of a catalogue compiled for the common ICX-429ALL CCD matrix. The performed verification of the results of measurements of the energy brightness of the obtained images showed an acceptable accuracy.
