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.
