CCD Filter Information

We have a UBVRI filter set which consists of the following:

U: liquid CuSO4 + UG1 [42-inch has UG2]

B: not: 1mm BG12 + 2mm BG39 + 1mm GG385

V: 2mm GG495 + 2mm BG39

R: 2mm OG570 + 2mm KG3

I: Interference filter.

We have traced these filters on the Lambda 9 spectrophotometer of NOAO, and provide both the plots and the data files below. In addition, we compare the filter curves convolved with our CCD DQEs with the standard system:
