Can u'g'r'i'z' filters be converted to ugriz filters?

AI Thread Summary
U'g'r'i'z' filters are a variant of the ugriz filter set, which includes ultraviolet (U), green (G), red (R), infrared (I), and near-infrared (z) components. The discussion highlights a lack of clear resources on converting u'g'r'i'z' to ugriz filters. A provided link to Wikipedia offers a basic understanding of the filter components. Another link directs users to the SDSS website for potential conversion methods. Understanding these filters is essential for accurate astronomical observations and data analysis.

I've searched around but can't seem to seem anything that addresses the differences between ugriz filters and u'g'r'i'z' filters. What are u'g'r'i'z'? Is there a way to convert u'g'r'i'z' into ugriz?




Thanks

the U.G.R.I.Z filters is components of the UGRIZ filter set. U is ultraviolet filter, G=green light, R=red, I-infrared, z=is also part of the near infrared 900 nm filter this is judging from this link.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometric_system beyond that I cannot really answer I'm hoping the link will provide you some direction.

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
