SRO50 transformation coefficients

We have only had three nights this season to determine transformation coefficients, and the scatter is too large to report right now.  However, we did quite a bit of calibration work earlier in the year with SRO50, and those transformation coefficients look very similar to the newer determinations.  Until I've had a couple more nights to get a good mean for this season, use last season's numbers:

Tv = -0.016 +/- 0.010

Tbv = 0.950 +/- 0.007

Tvr = 1.058 +/- 0.033

Tri = 0.935 +/- 0.022

Tvi = 1.004 +/- 0.009

 

kv = 0.174  +/- 0.030

kbv = 0.126 +/- 0.016

kvr = 0.039 +/- 0.014

kri = 0.052  +/- 0.017

kvi = 0.091 +/- 0.013

Are these the most current

Are these the most current coefficients for SRO50?

Is there someplace else they're listed?  Any chance they could be added to the telescope specification page?

Thanks!

SRO50 transformation coefficients

Hi Wayne,

Let me review the current transformation coefficient status for SRO50 and get back with you.  I know we did U-band transformations, but we have changed the B filter since those were calculated and I may need to revisit the process.  This is the leadup week to the annual meeting, so I will not guarantee that I will have new coefficients until after the meeting.
