Description
Photometric catalogue of the dwarf irregular galaxy Sagittarius. The catalogue is obtained from deep V and I band wide field photometry from VIMOS at VLT. Only sources having at least six independent magnitude estimates per filter were included in this catalogue. The average and the standard error of the mean of the independent measures obtained from the different images were adopted as the final values of the instrumental magnitude and of the uncertainty on the relative photometry. The instrumental v and i magnitudes were transformed into the Johnson-Kron-Cousins V,I photometric system using more than 70 bright stars (V<22.5) in common with the publicly available HST Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) photometry by Holtzman et al. (2006ApJS..166..534H). The instrumental coordinates were transformed into J2000 Equatorial coordinates with 2nd degree polynomials, using more than 1000 stars in common with the GSC2.2 catalog. Please see Section 2.2 for details.
