Scientific paper

The properties of optical photometric data obtainable with the 0.9-meter telescope of the Kuiper Airborne Observatory are described. The major differences between airborne and ground-based data are the absence of scintillation and the increased cosmic-ray background in the airborne data and the large size (≡5 arc sec) and vibration of the airborne images. The underlying cause of the large airborne images is not known although refraction in the turbulent boundary layer of the aircraft is suspected to be the major factor.
