We publish 622 CCD photometric sequences in the Johnson-Kron-Cousins standard
system, distributed both in the northern and southern hemispheres, useful for
the calibration of photographic
photometry of Schmidt survey plates. The collection
and reduction of the CCD data presented here are part of a long-term program
devoted to the construction of the Second Guide Star Photometric Catalog
(GSPC-II). The GSPC-II is an all-sky catalog of photometric stellar
sequences with a limiting magnitude of or fainter, in the
, V, and R passbands of the Johnson-Kron-Cousins system.
Standard photometric errors are at the level of ∼0.07 for a
magnitude star.
These sequences are being used by teams of the Space Telescope Science
Institute (STScI) and the
Osservatorio Astronomico of Torino (OATo) for the photometric calibration of the
Second Guide Star Catalog.
