System Throughputs

Using filter throughputs determined in the lab in combination with the measured QE of the flight detectors and sensitivities of WFC3's optics, we have calculated the total system throughput associated with each filter. The plots on the following pages show these throughputs graphically. In order to use this information for exposure time calculations, use the WFC3 ETC.
