Improved $u^{\prime }{g}^{\prime }{r}^{\prime }{i}^{\prime }{z}^{\prime }$ to $UBV{R}_C{I}_C$ Transformation Equations for Main Sequence Stars

Abstract

We report improved transformation equations between the $u^{\prime }{g}^{\prime }{r}^{\prime }{i}^{\prime }{z}^{\prime }$ and $UBV{R}_C{I}_C$ photometric systems. Although the details of the transformations depend on luminosity class, we find a typical rms scatter on the order of 0.001 magnitude if the sample is limited to main sequence stars. Furthermore, we find an accurate transformation requires complex, multi-color dependencies for the bluer bandpasses. Results for giant stars will be reported in a subsequent paper.
