In this directory response curves for the 6 filters may be found. The *_atmos.dat files include the atmosphere. For an EAZY- and FAST-readable file, see the EAZY website.
AB zeropoints were determined by integration of this Vega spectrum. For reference, the AB zeropoints of the ISAAC Js, H, and Ks filters computed with this method are also listed, along with the nominal values.
Filter | AB offset | AB offset |
---|---|---|
(calculated) | (nominal) | |
J1 | 0.65 | |
J2 | 0.84 | |
J3 | 0.96 | |
H1 | 1.29 | |
H2 | 1.42 | |
K | 1.85 | |
Js | 0.92 | 0.90 |
H | 1.37 | 1.38 |
Ks | 1.85 | 1.86 |
The AB zeropoints currently have uncertainties of ~0.03, as determined
from using different Vega spectra and the comparison to the canonical
values for broad band J,H,K. This can probably be improved a bit.
Update August 2008: recalculated AB zeropoints using filter
curves with atmosphere included (these are the ones that are listed
above). Differences very small though: 0.00-0.01.
