If an investigated spectrum is exactly power-law, expressions (2) and (4) below will give the exact values for the spectral flux density, provided we substitute eff as the effective wavelength and pl as effective frequency range, 2 adopting their values from Table 4. For spectra of any form, but resembling power-law, expressions (2) and (4) are approximate. While the value fobs (see the description of index d below) should correspond accurately to the photon flux from a source with an arbitrary spectrum, the calculated Fobs and tabulated ef f are approximate. 2 When some degree of the linear polarization is actually observed, this should be taken into account (see section 2). a See Fig. 1 for the normalized transmissions of the filters and CCD. 1 2 3 4 CCD CCD â Polarizer 1 -- before January 2011 CCD â R-filter â Polarizer -- January­July 2011 CCD â Polarizer2 -- after July 2011 (new polarizer)

b Three atmospheric extinction wavelength dependences are used: 1) no atmosphere (or "gray" atmosphere) ; 2) Atmospheric extinction properties above Mauna Kea (Buton et al. 2013) for air mass unity. 3) Mean extinction coefficient for Palomar mountain (Hayes & Latham 1975) for air mass unity. The atmospheric transmission is expressed as 10-k() sec z , where k () is the extinction coefficient [mag/air mass], the air mass is sec z , and z is the zenith distance.

where m is the observed magnitude and Fo is calculated as follows

Fo =

S R()d ,

where S is the spectrum of a source with zero magnitude before entering the Earth's atmosphere [erg/cm2 s å]. We take S as the Vega spectrum from Bohlin (2007). The band transmission R() is the product of the filter, CCD, and atmospheric transmissions, normalized by its maximum value. Then, we can estimate the spectral flux density at some effective wavelength eff in the following way: F F
obs

/ [erg/cm2 s Hz],

(2)

where the effective frequency range is given in paragraph k. d To calculate the integrated absolute flux in a wide band, it is more robust to use units of photons/cm2 s, as CCDs are the photon-counting detectors. The computation is similar to the previous case: fobs = fo 10-

where min and max are boundary wavelengths where R() is nonzero, N is the spectral photon-number-flux density of a source of zero magnitude before entering the Earth's atmosphere. N can be derived from S as follows N = S

2. Non-zero degree of linear polarization
If the magnitude m is observed with the polarizer oriented at 0o , and the full information about the linear polarization is gained, the form of (1) should be modified as follows: Fobs = Fo 10-0.4 m [erg/cm2 s], 1 - PL + 2PL cos2

where Fobs is the full energy flux (integrated over all polarization angles), the value Fo is unchanged, PL is the degree of linear polarization, is the polarization angle. Expression (3) should be modified in the same way. The above ralation is a consequence of the fact that the flux observed through a polarazer at 0o can be written as F (0o ) = Fobs (1 - PL ) + PL Fobs cos2 . 2

3. Zero points for observations in B V RI filters. Average effective wavelengths and band widths for various spectra
MASTER B , V , R and I filters represent the Johnson-Cousins system. Averaged values for two atmospheric conditions are presented in Table 2. Details are given in Tables 5, 6 and Fig. 2.
