Transformation from SDSS Photometric System to Johnson-Morgan-Cousins System in HK Survey

We calculate the transformation from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometric system to the Johnson-Morgan-Cousins System in the HK Survey. This research was done in late 2001, so the SDSS photometry was taken from the database prior to the release of DR1. This paper is being posted because it is referenced in other papers in the literature, but will not be submitted to a refereed journal because it uses unpublished versions of the catalogs.

SDSS Catalog of Stars in the Draco Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has scanned the entire region containing the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy to 23rd magnitude in g*. We present a catalog of stars found in a 453 square arcminute, elliptical region centered on the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Objects in the catalog are matched with five previously published catalogs. The catalog contains SDSS photometry for 5634 individual objects, and also the photometry from matches to any of the other catalogs. A comparison of the photometry between catalogs allows us to identify 142 candidate variable objects. One hundred and twelve of the suspected variables have colors consistent with RR Lyrae variables.
