Scientific paper

The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the calibratability of a variety of WFPC-2 filters. For broadband calibrations, the most commonly used filters (F336W, F439W, F555W, F675W, and F814W) are monitored and calibrated in another proposal (4763) and are not repeated here. This proposal checks basic calibration for other optical medium and broadband filters using the w Cen calibration field. These observations will allow estimates of zero-points and color terms for the WFPC-2 filters; these estimates will be refined with the full calibrations to be performed during Cycle 4. In addition, this proposal checks the predictions for WFPC-2 throughput by using observations of a well-calibrated flux standard through a variety of filters. This check is required to determine the accuracy with which we can use models of system throughput to detemine photometric calibrations. Observations of the flux standard will be made through the most commonly used broad-band filters. Additionally, we use the flux standard to measure UV throughput through the subset of UV filters which are not measured in prop 4763.
