Examples of dataset types:

• ('standard_passband', {band, instrument}, ArrowAstropy)

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.
