Principles and Applications of the Synchronous Network of Remote Telescopes
Abstract
A new approach for the search of microvariability and high-speed phenomena in variable stars is presented. It gives a new technology of observation and analysis of the data. Statistical photometry stands on the three pillars: the digital filtering technique, the photon counting statistics based on the Mandel equation, and the integral transforms of the light curves. This technique permits to investigate low-amplitude and rapid variability of stars.
