Theoretical Extinction Coefficients in ugriz

  • Published : 2019.10.14

Abstract

We present extinction coefficients in the photometric filter system ugriz of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, over a wide range of stellar properties based on theoretical stellar spectra generated using the ATLAS9 stellar models. Our computed coefficient values are essentially independent of a bulk metallicity or alpha-element abundance of a star, while they are a sensitive function of effective temperature and to a moderate extent of surface gravity of a star.
