Proceedings of the Workshop on Improvements to PhotometryThe Workshop on Improvements in Photometry was sponsored by NASA Ames Research Center and hosted by San Diego State University at San Diego on June 18 and 19, 1984. The purposes of the workshop were to determine what astronomical problems would benefit by increased photometric precision, determine the current level of precision, identify the processes limiting the precision, and recommend approaches
to improving photometric precision. Twenty representatives of the university, industry, and government communities participated. Results and recommendations are discussed in the Summary.
