Next: Airmass Calculation Up: Flux Calibration Previous: Flux Calibration . To calibrate the chromatic response, observations of a standard star (preferably more than one) are needed, for which the absolute fluxes are known. The spectral response curve of the instrument can then be determined with the command RESPONSE/LONG , and absolute fluxes for the objects of interest are obtained with CALIBRATE/FLUX . ...
