The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Photometric System
Abstract
This paper describes the Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric system, a new five-color (u‧ g‧ r‧ i‧ z‧) wide-band CCD system with wavelength coverage from 3000 to 11 000 Å. The zero points will be based on an updated version of the spectrophotometric ABv system. This updated calibration, designated as AB95, is presented in this paper.

The LSST filter complement (ugrizy) is modeled after the SDSS system because of its demonstrated success in photometric redshifts of galaxies, separation of stellar populations, and photometric selection of quasars.
“The LSST fi lter complement ( ugrizy ; see Figure 4 ) is modeled after the SDSS system ( Fukugita et al. 1996 ) because of its demonstrated success in a wide variety of applications, including photometric redshifts of galaxies ( Budavári et al. 2003 ) , separation of stellar populations ( Lenz et al. 1998; Helmi et al. 2003 ) , and photometric selection of quasars ( Richards et al. 2002; Ross et”

“Each of the five rows of the CCDs in the camera is fronted by a different filter, thus each scanline is observed in five filters, denoted (in order of observation) r i u z g (Fukugita et al. 1996; Gunn et al. 1998; EDR paper).”

“The magnitude system here is based on an approximation to an AB system (Oke & Gunn 1983, Fukugita et al 1996), again because that was the choice for the SDSS imaging.”

“Imaging is carried out in driftscan mode using a 142 megapixel camera (Gunn et al. 1998) that gathers data in five broad bands, u, g, r, i, and z, spanning the range from 3000 to 10,000 8 (Fukugita et al. 1996), with an effective exposure time of 54.1 s per band.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
