Assessment of the spectrophotometric accuracy of the GAMA spectra. The flux-calibrated spectra (light gray line) are compared with the multiband photometry from SDSS (open red squares). The solid black line corresponds to a heavy smoothing of the spectrum, and the solid circles are the summed fluxes from the spectrum. Since the flux calibration is more problematic at the edges of the spectra, we have estimated two intermediate pseudo-bands ug and iz, in the AB system (λc = 4118 Å; 8206 Å), to be used as visual guidelines. We assume that the SED is roughly linear between the u and b-bands and between the i and z-bands. The fluxes in these two intermediate bands are estimated in the spectra by taking the median value around a small region of the central wavelength.
