NIRI Filter Color Transformations

Content owned by aadamson

The Kprime and Kshort filters can be related to the standard "Mauna Kea" K filter via the following transformations:

  • Kshort = K + 0.002 + 0.026(J-K)

  • Kprime = K + 0.22(H-K)

The colors are those measured on the Mauna Kea filter system.
