\label{tab:vegafluxes}The four standard filters, and the brightness per unit
wavelength of Vega when observed through each.

Filter
Central Wavelength
Brightness of Vega
Luminosity of the Sun


B (deep blue)
440nm
\(6.3\times 10^{-11}{\rm W}{\rm m}^{-2}{\rm nm}^{-1}\)
\(6\times 10^{23}\) W/nm

V (green)
550nm
\(3.6\times 10^{-11}{\rm W}{\rm m}^{-2}{\rm nm}^{-1}\)
\(6\times 10^{23}\) W/nm

R (dark red)
700nm
\(2.2\times 10^{-11}{\rm W}{\rm m}^{-2}{\rm nm}^{-1}\)
\(4.5\times 10^{23}\) W/nm

I (infrared)
880nm
\(1.1\times 10^{-11}{\rm W}{\rm m}^{-2}{\rm nm}^{-1}\)
