1. INTRODUCTION (I)
? Main goal: flux calibration for CANARICAM
other Day 1 Instruments for the GTC as a by-product
Network of calibration stars for the IR from 1 to 30 ?m
we obtain the calibration of
- We have to eliminate all unsuitable stars.
- Our goal is to obtain a relative photometric precision of 2%.
- It should be possible to derive a flux for each standard star for every passband.
- It should provide a density of at aproximately 1 star per 5º*5º and It must avoid large holes in the distribution.
