Hamuy et al. Spectrophotometric Standards
The
CTIO group headed by M. Hamuy have obtained new observations of 10 secondary spectrophotometric standards (from Taylor,
ApJS, 54, 259, 1984) and 19 tertiary spectrophotometric standards from the lists of Stone and Baldwin
(MNRAS, 204, 347, 1983) and Stone
(ApJ, 218,767, 1977). Two papers detail the observations: the first is devoted to wavelengths from 3300 to 7550A (Hamuy et al.,
PASP, 104, 533, 1992); the second to wavelengths from 6000 to 10500A (Hamuy et al.,
PASP, 106, 566, 1994). The second paper consolidates both sets of observations and presents AB magnitudes for the 10 secondary standards at 16A intervals from 3300 to about 10400A and for the 19 tertiary standards at 50A intervals from 3300 to about 10300A. The ABMAG is converted to flux (ergs/cm/cm/s/A) through the formula ABMAG = -2.5 alog10(Fnu) - 48.59 where Fnu is in ergs/cm/cm/s/Hz.
