1. INT-WFC system responses
The system responses of the INT-WFC were modeled recently by Bell, Naylor et al. (2012),
being published in the paper "Pre-main-sequence isochrones - I. The Pleiades benchmark"
(
2012MNRAS.424.3178B).
The model includes the cumulative effects of the transmission of the Earth’s atmosphere, the
reflectivity of the telescope mirror, the transmission of the prime focus corrector optics, the
quantum efficiency of the detector and the filter transmission.
The table data also available at the authors website (filters
u,
g,
z,
i and
r).
2. INT-WFC - SDSS photometric transformations
The same paper of Bell, Naylor et al. (2012)
(
2012MNRAS.424.3178B) gives
magnitude and colour differences between the standard Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the
natural INT-WFC photometric systems. The study include the standard SDSS system responses and the
calculated INT-WFC responses, folding atmospheric models through both.
Data table available also at
this author website.

Thanks are due to Dr. Tim Naylor and his former PhD student Cameron Bell (Exeter Univ, UK)
for providing the INT-WFC system responses and SDSS photometric transformations.
