Abstract
We used observations obtained at the Rapid Eye Mount (REM) at the La Silla Observatory between 2016 June 7 UT to determine the extinction coefficients of the REM filters currently in use. The observations were obtain on 6 nights, spanning 2016 June UT through 2016 July 4 UT, over a wide range of airmass values, to determine the mean atmospheric extinction coefficients at the La Silla Observatory site. Coefficients in the REM filter sets—Sloan g′, r′, i′, z′, and J, H and K were determined, where the REM infrared filters closely match those of the J, H, and Ks filters of the 2MASS All-Sky Survey.
