The LRIS guider imaging zero point is presented below. The Guider is equipped with a BVRI filter set. Known BVI-band standards in the m67 open cluster were used to calibrate the zero point. The ZP is defined to be the magnitude of a 1 ADU detection in 1 second of integration.

The photometry used for calibration comes from Montgomery et al. 1993 AJ 106 181. In the table below, the stars used in the measurements are listed along with the Flux measured in the 1, 3 and/or 10s images. The guider image was acquired using a gain setting of 0 => gain= 0.7 e-/ADU. The LRIS guider image used was centered at: 8:50:47.81 11:50:53.0 and had a pa of 0. A finder chart of the field is shown below.

The average zero points for the stars below are: B=27.9, I=27.6 mag. The observations were originally made at an airmass of 1.045 and a correction for airmass was not made. V-band was also measured, but the data was confused by the open position.

The sensitivity for the guider for a 1 second exposure was calculated. For this calculation, the objects are assumed to be measured in a 1 arcsec aperture, with the sky bg measured in an additional 1 arcsec aperture. The pixel scale was assumed to be 0.164 arcsec/pix for this calculation. For a S/N=10, the guider would detect a B=20.1 and I=19.3 mag object in 1 second.
