The Spitzer Data Fusion Astronomical Photometric Filter Database - 10.5281/zenodo.7850783 A collection of photometric filters from a variety of astronomical observatories by Lucia Marchetti (University of Cape Town) & Mattia Vaccari (University of Cape Town) The complete collection of filters is also available at: https://www.mattiavaccari.net/df/filters Based on the Spitzer Data Fusion Project - https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6120913 - https://mattiavaccari.net/df *** Latest update : 05 July 2018 *** The filters*.res file contains a complete collection of filter response curves, corrected for QE of the telescope when necessary. Refers to the filters*.log running index to find the filters you need in the filters*.res file. *** only for hyperz users** - in the directory /filters-files there are all the original filters files (as downloaded from the web, *.txt) and the transformed ones to the hyperz friendly format (*forhyperz.txt) and taking into account, where necessary (and available) the quantum efficiency for each instrument. The instruction used to re-format the filters are in /filters-files/work-filters.pro (IDL script) and /filters-files/work-filters.src (stilts script) - to use filters*.res one needs to increase the limit of maximum filters ingested by hyperz; increase the parameter "mxft" in files /src/filter_ascii.f and /src/compos_new.f (the default is mxft=300) *** *** Version history: - 100330 : first version of *.res & *.log - 100414 : Corrected 2MASS for QE, Added WFC, KPNO,CTIO,UKIDSS all corrected for QE - 100607 : Corrected SPIRE 250, 350, 500 (in the 100414 version SPIRE 350 and 500 were stored in the *.res file in the wrong order of lambdas) and added to *.res file. - 100910 : - Corrected for QE WFC, KPNO,CTIO,UKIDSS and TMASS, the previus version used wrong conversion factor; - Updated to the last version of IRAC,MIPS and IRS filters; - Added to *.res and *.log files CFHTLS, AKARI ,SUBARU, WFI, VIMOS, UKIDSS Z, UKIDSS Y, filters (alla corrected for quantum efficiency), and PACS filters as from 'PACS(/SPIRE) Instrument Simulator as of Herschel Launch'. - PACS filters as from 'PACS DP Pipeline as of Dec 09' are also availabel in the directory ~/hyperz/ZPHOT1.3/filters/filters-files/ with the names : pacs-spec-resp-70-mum.asc pacs-spec-resp-70-mum-forhyperz.txt pacs-spec-resp-100-mum.asc pacs-spec-resp-100-mum-forhyperz.txt pacs-spec-resp-160-mum.asc pacs-spec-resp-160-mum-forhyperz.txt We decide to not include these last version in the .res and *.log files to mantain homogeneity with the SPIRE version of the filters; The difference between the two versions of the PACS filters are in any case not so significant. - 101116 : - Added to *.res and *.log files CFHT WIRCam - 110222 : - updated SDSS filters (replacing the "old" one) using data from http://www.sdss.org/dr7/instruments/imager/index.html - added NOAO KPNO MOSAIC-1 Bw, B, V, I - added NOAO CTIO MOSAIC-2 B, V, R, I - added ONIS J,H,K - added 90prime : SDSS-u, SDSS-z, U, B, V, R, I, Washington_M - added NEWFIRM J, H, Ks - added GALEX NUV, FUV - 110315 : - added MMT megacam u,g,r,i,z - updated CFH CFH12k B,V,R,I,Z - added Subaru MOIRCS Y,J,H,Ks,K - added AzTEC 1.1 mm (in place of older "0181 U CTIO+ CTIO atmosphere") - added JCMT SCUBA 450 micron, JCMT SCUBA 850 micron (in place of old "0179 CFH 12k High Sensitivity Response" and "0180 CFH 12k Standard Sensitivity Response") - added IRAM MAMBO (1 and 2) 1.2 mm (in place of old "0081 KPNO narrow band IR filter Lambda eff = 11.1 microns FWHM=1" and "0081 KPNO narrow band IR filter Lambda eff = 8.4 microns FWHM=1.7") - updated SOFI NTT (in place of old ntt files and "0128 F160W + NICMOS normalized") - added Palomar 200" WIRC J , K (in place of old "0194 f435w HST ACS/WFC","0195 f606w HST ACS/WFC") - adeed Calar Alto Omega200 J and Omega Prime K (in place of old "0196 f775w HST ACS/WFC", "0197 f850lp HST ACS/WFC") - added APEX SABOCA 350 micron and APEX LABOCA 850 micron - added HST NICMOS 3 F110W (J), F160W (H), F222M (K) - added HST ACS/WFC F435W (B), F606W (V), F814W (I), F475W (g), F625W (r), F775W (i), F850LP (z) - modified FLAMINGOS filters (index : 0253, 0254,0255) fixing a ploblem with the J filter and removing negative transmissions - modified ESO 2.2m WFI Ic/lwp, Z+/61 and UH 2.2m QUIRC H+K (AKA HK') filters (index : 0160, 0161, 0209) - added Subaru SuprimeCam IA427, IA445, IA464, IA484, IA505, IA527, IA550, IA574, IA598, IA624, IA651, IA679, IA709, IA738, IA767, IA797, IA827, IA856, IA907, NA656, NB711, NB816, NB921 (Indices 0320 to 0342) - added ESO 2.2m WFI U/50 (in place of old "0162 Z EMMI NTT 172 *") & corrected other ESO WFI filters for optics (indices 0156 to 0162) - controlled ESO VLT ISAAC J,H,Ks,L,M (not corrected for qe of the ccd), moved B/123 to indices 0163 and "Filter UV FOCA (Ref.

The best way to find the filter you are insterested in is to browse/search the .log file and determine the ID of your filter(s) of interest. NB : "*" in .log file indicates the origin of the filter shape is unknown and thus probably dates back to the .log file shipped with the hyperz code by Micol Bolzonella and then modified by Giulia Rodighiero The on-line and literature informations about filters can be found at: GENERAL VO TOOLS : http://svo2.cab.inta-csic.es/theory/fps/ GALEX : http://galexgi.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/galex/Documents/PostLaunchResponseCurveData.html SDSS : http://www.sdss.org/dr7/instruments/imager/index.html and Doi et al. 2010 ; http://www.astro.princeton.edu/PBOOK/camera/camera.htm WFC : http://catserver.ing.iac.es/filter/list.php?instrument=WFC (ugriz : 204,220,214,215,195) NOAO KPNO MOSAIC-1 : http://www.noao.edu/kpno/mosaic/filters/filters.html ; http://www.noao.edu/kpno/mosaic/chips.html (Ugriz : k1001,k1017,k1018,k1019,k1020,R Harris k1004 ; BVRI ; Bw from http://www.noao.edu/noao/noaodeep/) NOAO CTIO MOSAIC-2 : Brian Siana web-page http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~bsiana/cdfs_opt/filters.html ; http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~bsiana/cdfs_opt/coverage.html ; http://www.noao.edu/kpno/mosaic/filters/filters.html ; http://www.ctio.noao.edu/pfccd/mosaic_ccds.html (Ugriz : c6001,c6017,c6018,c6019,c6020 ; BVRI) CFHT MegaCam : http://www2.cadc-ccda.hia-iha.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/community/CFHTLS-SG/docs/extra/filters.html ; http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/Instruments/Filters/ ; NEW release at : http://cadcwww.dao.nrc.ca/megapipe/docs/filters.html (added "i2" filter) SUBARU : http://www.naoj.org/Observing/Instruments/SCam/sensitivity.html SUBARU HSC : http://www.naoj.org/Observing/Instruments/HSC/sensitivity.html.

This filters have been modified by David Bonfield as follow: by resampling and multiplying together the following: - filter transmission - mirror reflectivities - detector qe - model atmospheric transmission (i think the model is a 1 airmass,1mm water column model from MODTRAN but i have lost the reference for my spectrum. I extrapolated shortward in wavelength for the Z-band as this is a near-ir model).
