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
