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…
STIS Cycle 30 Calibration Programs
D. Welty, R. Bohlin, J. Carlberg +8
We discuss the suite of STIS calibration programs executed during HST Cycle 30, covering the period 2022 Nov 07 through 2023 Nov 05. For each of the 19 current regular calibration…
A network of cooler white dwarfs as infrared standards for flux calibration
Abbigail K. Elms, Nicola Pietro Gentile Fusillo, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +6
The accurate flux calibration of observational data is vital for astrophysics and cosmology because absolute flux uncertainties of stellar standards propagate into scientific resul…
The Gaia DR1 Mass-Radius Relation for White Dwarfs
P. -E. Tremblay, N. Gentile-Fusillo, R. Raddi +8
The Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) sample of white dwarf parallaxes is presented, including 6 directly observed degenerates and 46 white dwarfs in wide binaries. This data set is combin…
Photometric Calibrations for 21st Century Science
Stephen Kent, Mary Elizabeth Kaiser, Susana E. Deustua +33
The answers to fundamental science questions in astrophysics, ranging from the history of the expansion of the universe to the sizes of nearby stars, hinge on our ability to make p…
