A method is described which, through the use of an optical image rotator in conjunction with an area scanner, allows the accurate determination of the magnitudes and relative position of the components of a double star even if the angular separation is significantly smaller than the radius of the seeing disk.

Resumen

Resumen

Se describe un método, el cual, mediante el uso de un girador de imagen óptica conjuntamente con un “scanner” de área, permite la determinación precisa de las magnitudes y las posiciones relativas de las componentes de una estrella doble, aún cuando la separación angular sea significativamente más pequeña que el radio del disco producido por el “seeing”.
