Bandpasses#

LSSTCam filter bandpasses.

Citation: NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory (2026); Legacy Survey of Space and Time Data Preview 2: standard_passband dataset type https://doi.org/10.71929/rubin/3382558

Access#

The bandpasses are accessible via the Butler.

Dataset type: ('standard_passband', {band, instrument}, ArrowAstropy)
Number of files: 6

Description#

There are six standard passband datasets, one for each of the ugrizy bands. These datasets tabulate the full-system transmission of the six filters as a function of wavelength, which was used as a reference for the photometry.

Find more information (e.g., effective wavelength, a throughput curve plot) in the LSSTCam documentation.
