The UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey ZY JHK photometric system: passbands and synthetic colours
Open accessAbstract
The United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) Infrared Deep Sky Survey is a set of five surveys of complementary combinations of area, depth and Galactic latitude, which began in 2005 May. The surveys use the UKIRT Wide Field Camera (WFCAM), which has a solid angle of 0.21 deg2. Here, we introduce and characterize the ZY JHK photometric system of the camera, which covers the wavelength range 0.83-2.37 μm. We synthesize response functions for the five passbands, and compute colours in the WFCAM, Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) bands, for brown dwarfs, stars, galaxies and quasars of different types. We provide a recipe for others to compute colours from their own spectra. Calculations are presented in the Vega system, and the computed offsets to the AB system are provided, as well as colour equations between WFCAM filters and the SDSS and 2MASS passbands. We highlight the opportunities presented by the new Y filter at 0.97-1.07 μm for surveys for hypothetical Y dwarfs (brown dwarfs cooler than T), and for quasars of very high redshift, z > 6.4.

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.
