LSST (2023) Filters
-------------------

LSST filter responses are taken from tag 1.9 of the LSST simulations
`throughputs package <https://github.com/lsst/throughputs>`__ and include a
standard atmosphere with airmass 1.2 that is also tabulated in the same package.

This tag follows the baselining of silver coatings on all three mirrors.

The group name ``lsst2023`` is used to identify these response curves in ``speclite``.
The plot below shows the output of the command below::

lsst = speclite.filters.load_filters('lsst2023-*')
speclite.filters.plot_filters(
lsst, wavelength_limits=(3000, 11000), legend_loc='upper left')
