E# = F
which is open, of course.
You can see this graphically on a piano. If you look at the 'E' key (white key) and go up one half-step, it is not a black key, but another white key (the 'F'). This same thing occurs between B & C. As such, you will also find:
Fb = E
B# = C
Cb = B
Good luck in your position!
