8B10.10variable star simulationPIRA 1000
8B10.10variable star simulationAJP 51(7),668A ball eclipses a lamp. The output from a phototransistor is conditioned by a ADC/microcomputer/DAC on the way to an oscilloscope display.
8B10.11synthesized variable starAJP 46(11),1197Use a PROM to store the curves for variable stars. No microprocessor, the curve is generated with a simple hardware circuit.
8B10.11variable star simulatorAJP 44(12),1227A dimmer control is varied by a cam on a motor drive.
8B10.11digital variable starAJP 54(11),976A simple circuit drives a lamp with data stored in EPROM to generate real light curves from various types of variable stars. Also includes discussion of a classroom photometer.
