cds-question@unistra.frccd-photometrystandard-starsThis paper presents the characterization of the optical range of the ALHAMBRA photometric system, a 20 contiguous, equal-width, medium-band CCD system with wavelength coverage from 3500{AA} to 9700{AA}. The photometric description of the system is done by presenting the full response curve as a product of the filters, CCD, and atmospheric transmission curves, and using some first- and second-order moments of this response function. We also introduce the set of standard stars that defines the system, formed by 31 classic spectrophotometric standard stars which have been used in the calibration of other known photometric systems, and 288 stars, flux calibrated homogeneously, from the Next Generation Spectral Library (NGSL). Based on the NGSL, we determine the transformation equations between Sloan Digital Sky Survey ugriz photometry and the ALHAMBRA photometric system, in order to establish some relations between both systems. Finally, we develop and discuss a strategy to calculate the photometric zero points of the different pointings in the ALHAMBRA project.2010AJ....139.1242Vhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/139/1242CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/139/1242https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/139/1242http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/139/1242https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/139/1242https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/139/1242http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/139/1242GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/AJ/139/1242/standard (ALHAMBRA AB magnitudes of the 31 spectrophotometric primary standard stars (table2) and the 288 primary standard stars from the NGSL (table3))https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/139/1242/standard?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/139/1242/standard?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/139/1242/standard?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true58.84161729.78837060.0055555555555555566/49 137 326 351 373 428 798 811 819 915 987 1293 1408 1556 1603 1642 1696 1873 1890 2460 2664 2678 2737 3026 3199 3266 3395 3639 3678 3712 3718 3865 3970 4091 4191 4286 4298 4322 4373 4512 4820 4846 5195 5420 5506 5531 5534 5550 5622 5624 6036 6153 6183 6472 6601 6776 7117 7177 7186 7240 7334 7683 7710 7746 7798 8009 8068 8135 8296 8332 8476 8510 9322 9733 9792 9831 9944 9996 10375 10386 10471 10504 10595 10811 11197 11250 11441 11636 11722 11806 11885 11929 11984 12068 12179 12396 12477 12621 12765 12793 12934 13114 13132 13148 13238 13301 13480 13829 14151 14298 14373 14419 14743 14767 14875 14906 14931 15097 15658 15850 15901 15937 15980 16069 16115 16629 17028 17094 17266 17395 17576 17955 18028 18035 18423 18425 18712 18821 18887 18990 19097 19099 19113 19141 19179 19192 19206 19347 19448 19924 20532 20661 20804 21099 21269 21389 21723 22184 22205 22211 22518 22558 22868 23101 23190 23230 23323 23468 23476 23567 23592 23637 23789 23893 24151 24179 24565 24839 24866 24924 25051 25444 25601 25607 25789 25875 25919 26110 26289 26304 26305 26808 27033 27088 27143 27322 27512 27641 27694 27857 27871 27903 27963 27991 28006 28026 28134 28137 28208 28252 28336 28538 28915 29138 29490 29593 29596 29703 29769 30064 30078 30167 30175 30179 30188 30257 30304 30307 30315 30330 30374 30404 30411 30434 30450 30456 30467 30659 30878 30893 30939 30958 30970 31011 31101 31284 31488 31751 31752 31757 31760 31767 31769 31794 31795 31805 32019 32140 32441 32580 32731 33018 33027 34171 34181 35813 36035 36221 36664 36697 36745 37664 37843 37932 39413 39709 39745 39888 40337 40580 40716 40750 40944 41659 43693 44208 44281 44499 44669 44771 44816 44860 44883 45837 46776 47100 47337 47930 48281 48525 48731 48767 491422.0597243282886345e-19 5.632715388125619e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/AJ/139/1242?format=asciidefaultJ/AJ/139/1242/galaxyCombined table from original tablesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
