The table below gives standard magnitudes measured through B, V, and I filters for the standard stars used to calibrate our images of M5. Each star is indicated by both a letter which corresponds to the markers in the above picture and its Stetson identification number.

ID Stetson ID B Magnitude V Magnitude I Magnitude
A 126 14.112 12.787 11.497
B 547 14.210 12.994 11.700
C 659 14.261 13.082 11.838
D 1174 14.172 12.887 11.469
E 1034 14.014 12.887 11.674


The two Cepheid IIs in M5 are V42 and V84. Watch this space for color-magnitude diagrams!
Below are the uncalibrated V light curves for V42 (Period=25.7 d) and V84 (Period=26.9 d), respectively. The photometry derive from images taken at the Macalester Observatory.
