Monochromatic Atmospheric Extinction Coefficients at La Silla
This page contains information about the atmospheric extinction coefficients. These values have been determined by using the Swiss Telescope, during the photometrics night, using either a two-channel photelectric photometer(P7) or a CCD camera.
The data is given as values of HJD, Date, kU, kB1, kB, kB2, kV1, kV, kG, kR and kI, where the ki values are the mean extinction in each of the 9 filters ( U B1 B B2 V1 V G R I).
The mean wavelengths of the filters (in Angstrom) are:
U B1 B B2 V1 V G R I 3464 4015 4227 4476 5395 5488 5807 6760 7610
You can see the data by year and by month:
