Aperture averaging effects in stellar scintillation

Abstract

Stellar scintillation has been measured for apertures as low as 0.012 m by using photoncounting techniques. The scintillation measurements have been made for various aperture sizes in quick succession in order to determine experimentally the effects of aperture averaging. The results of the experiment are compared with the predictions of a model proposed earlier in the literature to quantify the phenomenon.
