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 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”

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.
