6.7 Post-Helium Flux Calibration Sources

Table 6.1 shows the calibration stars used for the calibration of the RSRF and the flux calibration of the observations obtained during the Post-Helium Phase.

The reference SED used for Lyr was a composite spectrum by Cohen et al. 1992a, [2] while the synthetic spectra for Dra and Dra were taken from Decin 2000, [4]. These synthetic spectra are based on the SOS-MARCS model atmosphere code (Gustafsson et al. 1975, [12]) and were generated using the TurboSpectrum programme (Plez, Brett & Nordlund 1992, [31]).

The following fundamental stellar parameters were used for Dra: T = 4820 K; log g = 2.90;  = 1.7 km/s; [Fe/H] = 0.00; (C) = 8.25; (N) = 8.26; (O) = 8.83; C/C = 12;  = 3.31 mas.

In the case of Dra the parameters used were: T = 3930 K; log g = 1.55;  = 2.0km/s; [Fe/H] = 0.00; (C) = 8.22; (N) = 8.26; (O) = 8.81; C/C = 10;  = 10.07 mas.
