D. Magnitude System in ISOPHOT

The zero magnitude of a given ISOPHOT filter is defined as the signal of the `ideal' (i.e. model) Vega which would have been measured in that filter with an infinitely large aperture.


The ideal spectrum of Vega was derived from a Kurucz model with $T_{eff}$ = 9400 K , log($g$) = 3.900, metal poor, $V_{turb}=$ 0.0 kms$^{-1}$ and no infrared excess due to circumstellar dust, extended to 300 $\mu $m and absolutely calibrated as described by Cohen et al. 1992, [6], and Walker & Cohen 1992, [55].


The magnitude $m_{filter}$ can be obtained from the PHT auto analysis data product by applying the relation:


\begin{displaymath}
m_{filter} = -2.5~{\rm log}\,
\lbrack \frac{F_{\nu}(measured)}{F_{\nu,0}}\rbrack~~,
\end{displaymath} (D.1)

where $F_{\nu}(measured)$ is the AAR flux density. The values for $F_{\nu,0}$ with filter identifier and reference wavelength ${\lambda}_{ref}$ are listed in Table D.1.


For completeness, we have included in Table D.1 the corresponding powers on the detector $P_0({\lambda}_{ref})$, the ideal Vega flux density at the reference wavelength $F_{\nu}({\lambda}_{ref})$, and the colour correction $k$.


$P_0({\lambda}_{ref})$ can be applied to the SPD products, thereby taking into account the point spread function correction, see Equations 5.8 and 5.9. The values of $k$ are very close to the ones which have been derived for a 10000 K blackbody, see Table C.2.
