Techniques and Review of Absolute Flux Calibration from the Ultraviolet to the Mid-Infrared

Gordon, Karl D.; Tremblay, P. -E.; Bohlin, Ralph C.

The measurement of precise absolute fluxes for stellar sources has been pursued with increased vigor since the discovery of the dark energy and the realization that its detailed understanding requires accurate spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of redshifted Ia supernovae in the rest frame. The flux distributions of spectrophotometric standard s…
