Abstract:
We present a new set of secondary standard stars for the u'g'r'i'z'
photometric system that has been established in selected open and
globular star clusters. These standards are calibrated to the original
standard system defined by Smith et al. with an accuracy of 1% or
better, extend as faint as r'∼20, and are concentrated in small
regions of the sky. As a result, they can serve as viable calibrators
of photometry obtained on some of the large-aperture, high-demand
telescopes that employ the u'g'r'i'z' filter set.
Description:
This project was allocated a total of 135 nights spanning a 15 month
period beginning in 2003 July and ending in 2004 September on the 1.8m
Plaskett Telescope at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO).

Note (2): Increases West at 0.25arcsec/pixel.
Note (3): Increases North at 0.25arcsec/pixel.
Note (4): Values of 99.999 and 9.9999 indicate unknown magnitudes and
uncertainties, respectively.
Note (5): DAOPHOT parameters:
* "chi" measures the PSF match; large values should be disregarded.
* "sharp" is close to zero for isolated stars;
significantly negative for bad pixels and cosmic rays;
significantly positive for blended or non-stellar objects.
