Filter Throughput Curves

I have compiled a list of throughput filter curves from a variety of telescopes, instruments, and surveys. Click on the name of the filter to download it. The first line of each filter is the zeropoint for that filter. If the filter is in the AB system, it is listed as 0.0 (or in otherwords -48.55). The others are for the zeropoint based on Vega. All wavelengths are in Angstroms and flux in F(ν)
