Next: Notes on specific Up: Introduction Previous: Introduction . You have one or more pairs of `objects' and `sky' frames for your astronomical target, the same for a `standard' star. ... Then use SKYSUB/IRSPEC which does a `clever' obj-sky subtraction aimed at minimizing the residual sky lines in the output frame. ... The resulting response frame can be used to flux calibrate the spectrum of your astronomical target using FLUX/IRSPEC, and this is the end of the reduction. ...

... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

... The absolute flux calibration of NICMOS will be calculated from observations of standard stars with known flux distributions F( ). ... In order to expand the set of IR standard stars in the appropriate flux range for NICMOS, M. Rieke, R. Thompson, and collaborators at the University of Arizona are making photometric observations of solar-analog stars, which will be used to normalize the solar spectrum to the observed IR magnitudes. ... Relative flux references accurate to 1.5% for standard...

... New IRAF tools for the photometric calibration of optical/IR images are presented. The new tools are standard star catalog and world coordinate driven, requiring both accurate standard star catalog coordinate and accurate image coordinate data. Network access to standard star catalog servers is supported. ... The photometric calibration software will automatically convert the standard star coordinates from the standard star coordinate system to the image coordinate system. ...

... Data Handling and Products > Data Reduction FAQ > The spectrum of my MOS flux standard star is shifted in wavelength by several pixels. Why is that and how can I correct for it? ... Observing with ESO Telescopes . ... The shift of the flux standard spectrum is caused by a combination of bad centering within the slit and possible wavelength calibration issues. To align the spectrum to the tabulated flux, use the parameter --resp_shift in vmmosscience when determining the response curve. ...
