Sloan/Johnson-Cousins/2MASS Color Transformations for Cool-Stars
We present multi-color transformations and photometric parallaxes for a
sample of 40 low mass dwarfs selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)
and the General Catalog of Trigonometric Stellar Parallaxes. Our sample was
re-observed at the Manastash Ridge Observatory (MRO) using both Sloan and
Johnson-Cousin filters and color transformations between the two photometric
systems were derived. A subset of the sample had previously measured
Johnson-Cousins photometry and parallaxes as well as 2MASS photometry. We
observed these stars at MRO using Sloan filters and used these data to derive
photometric parallax relations as well as SDSS/Johnson-Cousins/2MASS color
transformations. We present the data and derived transformations for use in
future low mass star studies.Comment: 7 pages, Accepted for publication in PAS
