SDSS *primed* magnitudes to F_ν. The primed magnitudes are the "USNO"
        standard-star system defined in Smith+ (2002AJ....123.2121S) and
        Fukugita+ (1996AJ....111.1748F). This system is anchored to the AB
        magnitude system, and as far as I can tell it is not known to have
        measurable offsets from that system. (As of DR10, the *unprimed* SDSS
        system is known to have small offsets from AB, but I do not believe
        that that necessarily has implications for u'g'r'i'z'.)

        However, as far as I can tell the filter responses of the USNO
        telescope are not published -- only those of the main SDSS 2.5m
        telescope. The whole reason for the existence of both the primed and
        unprimed ugriz systems is that their responses do not quite match. For
        my current application, which involves a completely different
        telescope anyway, the difference shouldn't matter.
