Abstract:

 

By using standard and comparison star observations carried  out at different times of the year, at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart  University Observatory, we obtained the atmospheric extinction  coefficients at the observatory.  We also obtained transformation  coefficients and zero-point constants for the transformation to the  standard Johnson UBV system, of observations in the local system  carried out with the SSP5A photometer and T40 telescope.  The  transmission curves and the mean wavelengths of the UBV filters as  measured in the laboratory appear not much different from those of the  standard Johnson system and found inside the transmission curve of the  standard mean atmosphere.
