SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the conversion between u'g'r'i'z' filters and ugriz filters, which are components of the UGRIZ filter set used in astronomical imaging. The ugriz filters include U (ultraviolet), G (green light), R (red), I (infrared), and z (near infrared at 900 nm). A key resource provided is the SDSS documentation, which outlines the conversion process between the primed and unprimed filter symbols. This information is crucial for astronomers and researchers working with photometric systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of photometric systems in astronomy
  • Familiarity with UGRIZ filter set components
  • Basic knowledge of astronomical imaging techniques
  • Access to SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the SDSS documentation on photometric equations
  • Explore the differences between primed and unprimed filter systems
  • Learn about the applications of UGRIZ filters in astronomical studies
  • Investigate the impact of filter choice on imaging quality
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysics researchers, and students studying photometric systems will benefit from this discussion, particularly those interested in filter conversions and their implications for astronomical imaging.

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.
