The absolute calibration and characterization of the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) 70 ЮМm coarse- and fine-scale imaging modes are presented based on over 2.5 yr of observations. ... This work shows that the MIPS 70 ЮМm array produces accurate, well-calibrated photometry and validates the MIPS 70 ЮМm operating strategy, especially the use of frequent stimulator flashes to track the changing responsivities of the Ge:Ga detectors. ...

These observations are aimed at fully charactering FORS1 photometric system (UBVRI zero-points, color-terms and extinction coefficients) for the Tektronix 2048x2048 pixel CCD (24µm px) .

T. A. Springer Utrecht University Utrecht, Netherlands taspri@mac.com Remarks on parab olic character sheaves Parabolic character sheaves were introduced by G. Lusztig. Closely related are character sheaves on the wonderful compactification of an adjoint group. In the talk I will discuss an approach to the parabolic character sheaves that is a bit different from Lusztig's. 1
