Boyd, Gautham Narayan, Kaisey Mandel, Matthew Grayling, Aidan Berres, Mai Li, Aaron Do, ABHIJIT SAHA, Tim Axelrod, Thomas Matheson, Edward W Olszewski, ralph bohlin, Annalisa Calamida, Jenna Claver, Susana Deustua, Jay Holberg, Ivan Hubeny, John MacKenty, Konstantin Malanchev, Sean Points, Armin Rest, Elena Sabbi, Christopher Stubbs
standards (16.5 V 19.5) alongside the three CALSPEC standards, from 900 Å to 32 μm. The framework is the first of its kind to jointly infer photometric zeropoints and WD parameters (log g, Teff, AV , RV ) by simultaneously modelling both photometric and

A network of cooler white dwarfs as infrared standards for flux calibration

The accurate flux calibration of observational data is vital for astrophysics and cosmology because absolute flux uncertainties of stellar standards propagate into scientific results. With the ever higher precision achieved by telescopic missions (e.g. JWS

Calibration for Astrophysics using an Artificial star with NIST-traceable Distribution of Luminous Energy (CANDLE) Instrument Development

Joseph P. Rice, Brian Alberding, Susana Deustua, Thinh Bui, Eric Shirley, Keshet Shavit, Eliad Peretz, Daniel Kuesters, Greg Aldering, Dmitry Vorobiev, Jonathan Papa, Justin Albert, Ralph Bohlin, Benjamin Rose, Piotr Pachowicz, Peter Plavchan, Angella Tanner, John Mather, Jean Thomas Landry, Etienne Gauvin, Thomas Michaud=Bayens, Greg Kopp
The CANDLE Engineering Demonstration Unit (EDU) was selected by the 2022 APRA program to develop and demonstrate that we can reach the flux accuracy and range required for an artificial star. A critical issue in producing accurate and reliable flux
