Infrared standards for ISO. I. A new calibration of mid infrared photometry

Kessler, M. F.; Bouchet, P.; Metcalfe, L. +5 more

We present N, 8.7 mu m, 9.8 mu m 12.5 mu m and Q bolometry of 26 stars which were observed on the IRTF. These are primarily K giants which have been well measured at other wavelengths and are chosen to be single and non-variable. Hence the data presented provides a new homogeneous set of mid IR standards. As a test of part of the calibration strat…
