Revised Filter Profiles and Zero Points for Broadband Photometry

Mann, Andrew W.; von Braun, Kaspar

Estimating accurate bolometric fluxes for stars requires reliable photometry to absolutely flux calibrate the spectra. This is a significant problem for studies of very bright stars, which are generally saturated in modern photometric surveys. Instead we must rely on photometry with less precise calibration. We utilize precisely flux-calibrated sp…
