Attaining Spectral Energy Distributions With Sub-Percent Uncertainties: All-Sky DA White Dwarf Spectrophotometric Standard Stars For Large Telescopes And Surveys

Abhijit Saha, Edward W. Olszewski, Benjamin M. Boyd +14

We present a synopsis of the project to establish thirty-two new faint () DA white dwarfs as spectrophotometric standards distributed over the whole sky. O…

DAmodel: Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling of DA White Dwarfs for Spectrophotometric Calibration

Benjamin M. Boyd, Gautham Narayan, Kaisey S. Mandel +17

We use hierarchical Bayesian modelling to calibrate a network of 32 all-sky faint DA white dwarf (DA WD) spectrophotometric standards () alongside three CALSPEC st…

Faint white dwarf flux standards: data and models

Ralph C. Bohlin, Susana Deustua, Gautham Narayan +7

Fainter standard stars are essential for the calibration of larger telescopes. This work adds to the CALSPEC (calibration spectra) database 19 faint white dwarfs (WDs) with all-sky…

The enigmatic abundance of atomic hydrogen in Saturn's upper atmosphere

Lotfi Ben-Jaffel, Julie Moses, Robert A. West +5

A planet's Lyman-α (Lyα) emission is sensitive to its thermospheric structure. Here, we report joint Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Cassini cross-calibration observations of the…

All-Sky Faint DA White Dwarf Spectrophotometric Standards for Astrophysical Observatories: The Complete Sample

Tim Axelrod, Abhijit Saha, Thomas Matheson +14

Hot DA white dwarfs have fully radiative pure hydrogen atmospheres that are the least complicated to model. Pulsationally stable, they are fully characterized by their effective te…

Perfecting our set of spectrophotometric standard DA white dwarfs

A. Calamida, T. Matheson, E. W. Olszewski +17

We verified for photometric stability a set of DA white dwarfs with Hubble Space Telescope magnitudes from the near-ultraviolet to the near-infrared and ground-based spectroscopy b…
