Filter Description

Filter ID (?) :Swift/UVOT.white
Description (?) :UVOT white filter effective area
Phot.System (?) :UVOT
Detector Type (?) :Photon counter
Band Name (?) :------
Obs. Facility (?) :Swift
Instrument (?) :UVOT
Comments (?) :Take into account that there is a time-dependent, and filter-dependent decline in sensitivity for the UVOT (which reaches as much as ~30% in UVW2) since launch, and that the filter effective areas provided reflect the case at approximately mission start, so any computation of expected output in the UVOT at a given epoch after mission start, should take these degradation factors into account. The current document describing the degradation is available at
