The star Herschel 36 (Her 36) which ionizes most of the Hourglass nebula has been observed during a lunar occultation as well as by speckle interferometry in the near infrared (NIR). From the lunar occultation data the strip brightness profile has been extracted which shows that in the L′ band Her 36 is extended with a FWHM of 0.45″. Subsequent speckle interferometry revealed 11 sources in a 6′ × 6′ area at a level of 0.15″ resolution. From the comparison of the brightness profile obtained by the occultation and the strip brightness profile synthesized from the speckle image, we conclude that Her 36 is surrounded by a very young infrared cluster.

AbstractThe technique of model fitting has been applied to the analysis of data obtained from photoelectric measurements of lunar occultations. A model occultation curve is generated and fitted, by least squares, to the observed light curve, and by this method the values of the model parameters are determined, together with their formal errors. This technique is contrasted with Scheuer’s deconvolution procedure by applying both methods to the same observed data.
