CDROM/AJ/V110/P0275 IR Spectra of Standard Stars (Cohen+ 1995) ================================================================================ Spectral Irradiance Calibration in the Infrared. IV. 1.2-35 um Spectra of Six Standard Stars Martin Cohen, Fred C. Witteborn, Russell G. Walker, Jesse D. Bregman & Diane H. Wooden <1995, AJ, 110, 275> =1995AJ....110..275C ================================================================================ Abstract: We present five new absolutely calibrated continuous stellar spectra from 1.2 to 35 um, constructed as far as possible from actual observed spectral fragments taken from the ground, the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO), and the IRAS Low Resolution Spectrometer (LRS). These stars -- Beta Peg, Alpha Boo, Beta And, Beta Gem, and Alpha Hya -- augment our already created complete absolutely calibrated spectrum for Alpha Tau. All these spectra have a common calibration pedigree. The wavelength coverage is ideal for calibration of many existing and proposed ground-based, airborne, and satellite sensors.
