Filters

 

Filters for the three channels are listed in the Table below. For an observed counts per second (CPS), the source Flux and its AB magnitude for a filter can be estimated using the following relations:
 
Ffilter = CPS x UC (ergs s-1 cm-2 A-1)
mAB = -2.5 log10 (CPS) + ZP
 
CPS : Counts per second, the source count-rate
UC : Unit Conversion for the filter (see the table below)
ZP: Zero point for the filter (see the table below)
