Photometric Calibration of the HST Wide-Field/Planetary Camera. II. Ground Based Observations of Calibration Fields
Abstract
Ground-based CCD observations have been made simulating the photometric properties of the Wide Field/Planetary Camera (WF/PC) of the Hubble Space Telescope. This paper gives results in 15 of the most important WF/PC passbands for two fields chosen to provide efficient in-flight calibration of the WF/PC. These calibration fields are located in the outskirts of the globular clusters Omega Cen and NGC 6752.
