Overview of applied calibrations and transformations between the photometric instrumental systems of IRSF and NACO into the 2MASS system.

Band Photometric calibration Number of stars used (after last clipping)

IRSF single epoch
J JIRSF,2MASS = 22.854 ± 0.005 + JIRSF,inst − 0.046   (JIRSF,inst − HIRSF,inst) + 0.015 279
H HIRSF,2MASS = 22.919 ± 0.003 + HIRSF,inst + 0.016   (JIRSF,inst − HIRSF,inst) + 0.024 451
Ks KIRSF,2MASS = 22.146 ± 0.003 + KIRSF,inst + 0.010   (JIRSF,inst − KIRSF,inst) + 0.014 502

J 24.315 ± 0.018 + JNACO,inst (24.345 ± 0.030)
H 24.024 ± 0.017 + HNACO,inst (24.030 ± 0.060)
Ks 23.067 ± 0.017 + KNACO,inst (23.091 ± 0.023)

 Zeropoints aligned with respect to epoch 1 [within 4′′ of target]
J 24.289 ± 0.019 + JNACO,inst 8
H 24.036 ± 0.012 + HNACO,inst 10
Ks 23.116 ± 0.008 + KNACO,inst 10

Notes. The derived zeropoints for NACO are consistent with zeropoints from NACO based on regularly taken standard stars (after correction for atmospheric extinction) and that we do not find a color term between the NACO and 2MASS system.
