You are correct in noting that Johnson JHK passbands are not currently included. Before I address that, though, let me go through your other questions. The The The That said, you don't ever need to fill out any of this yourself. The phoebe/atmospheres/passband module has everything necessary to calculate the passband files for you. Note that we are all-but-done with rewriting the module and it will be included in one of the upcoming releases; this will greatly improve and speed up how we compute passbands. For the time being, though, this is (roughly) what you might want to do:
Thus, to compute passbands, you will need ck2004 and phoenix atmosphere tables. I'll add the links to the website shortly and follow up here. Finally, I just started the computation of Johnson JHK passbands; it takes ~4 hours per passband, so I should have them at some point tomorrow. I used generic PTFs but if you need an AndiCAM-specific set of PTFs, I can send you the script I used (it has a couple of extra bells compared to the script above, to impute missing Phoenix values and to add a reference to WD passband index) so that you can recreate it on your end, or I can add them to the batch if you send me the transmission functions. |

That took less time that I had anticipated -- Johnson JHK are now available to be used. Just please note that, while the passbands passed the initial quality control check, they have never been used so there may be problems the automated QC missed. Let me know if you run into any issues! |

I'm trying to upload and fit several different lightcurves of the same object taken at different bandpasses. I have lightcurves taken in the V, R, I, J, H, and K bands, and though I see that Johnson VRI are included in PHOEBE, I can't find any of JHK listed as currently available/downloadable.
The JHK data I have was taken with AndiCAM (filter info here: https://noirlab.edu/science/programs/ctio/filters/andicam). I've tried converting the online passband information into the .fits format of the other files under /.phoebe/atmospheres/tables/passbands/, but when I import phoebe, it gives me the following error:
It seems like PHOEBE wants all the header information it's used to. I can insert placeholders for most since they seem to only be needed for documentation:
But there are a few that I'm unsure about:
What do these refer to? I'm assuming T = True, but what does it mean to be calibrated? If PTF is Passband Transmission Function, what is E area versus P area? What is order?
Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
