Scientific paper

The present photon counting area photometry of Omega Centauri's faint subgiant solor-luminosity array, turnoff, and main sequence are of sufficient precision to indicate an intrinsic width to the main sequence in (B-V) which can be ascribed to chemical inhomogeneity among the stars. The error estimation procedures are detailed, and these data are used to complement a distance modulus determination of the cluster, together with an enhancement of the He abundance between the main sequence and horizontal branching envelopes.
