Optical WFPC2 magnitude distributions, separated by bandpass (top: V band; bottom: I band). The arrows represent the depth for fields where no optical counterpart could be identified. The vertical dashed line shows the flux‐averaged, 50% completeness limit for each bandpass. These magnitude distributions peak gsim2 mag brighter than the average completeness limit for the average WFPC2 field. While the statistics may be relatively low, this suggests that the turnover in the optical magnitude distributions from earlier studies was not due to their shallow imaging.
