Abstract

This paper describes the Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric system, a new five-color (u′g′r′i′z′) wide-band CCD system with wavelength coverage from 3000 to 11 000 Å. The zero points will be based on an updated version of the spectrophotometric AB_v system. This updated calibration, designated as AB₉₅, is presented in this paper.
