Title: Application of an InGaAs NIR camera for photometry
Keyword(s): near infrared, photometry
Pages: 246 -- 247

Abstract: The performance of a near infrared camera for photometry is investigated by observations of multiple samples of spatially close non-variable stars. Objects with a J-band magnitude less than 9.2 have been observed by the application of differential photometry. For the faint objects a statistical scatter of 7.9 mmag has been determined. Possible future applications include the examination of planets orbiting late type stars by an eclipse or a timing analysis.
