In this paper, we use the Cramér-Rao lower uncertainty bound to estimate the maximum
precision that could be achieved on the joint simultaneous (or two-dimensional) estimation …

Most optical and IR spectra are now acquired using detectors with finite-width pixels in a
square array. Each pixel records the received intensity integrated over its own area, and …

We start from our six absolutely calibrated continuous stellar spectra from 1.2 to 35 μ m for
K0, K1. 5, K3, K5, and M0 giants. These were constructed as far as possible from actual …

ABSTRACT We present Johnson–Kron–Cousins BVRI photometry of 228 candidate
spectrophotometric standard stars for the external (absolute) flux calibration of Gaia data …

We describe here the Stellar Photometry Software (SPS) that we have developed at Boston
University and the University of Hawaii. SPS combines in a single program procedures for …

With photometric repeatability in the 0.2%–0.4% range and wavelength coverage from 1150
to 10,200 Å, the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) low-dispersion …

We constructed a photometrically calibrated catalog of non-variable sources from the
Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) observations. The first version of this catalog presented …

The spectral resolving power R= λ/δλ is a key property of any spectrograph, but its definition
is vague because the 'smallest resolvable wavelength difference'δλ does not have a …

Several studies have appeared in the literature describing methods for deriving stellar
continuum fluxes as simple functions of Johnson color indices. In previous papers, we have …

In this paper, we describe the routine photometric calibration of data taken with the VISTA
infrared camera (VIRCAM) instrument on the ESO Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for …
