Absolute Physical Calibration in the Infrared
We determine an absolute calibration for the Multiband ImagingPhotometer for Spitzer 24 μm band and recommend adjustments to thepublished calibrations for Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), InfraredArray Camera (IRAC), and IRAS photometry to put them on the same scale.We show that consistent results are obtained by basing the calibrationon either an average A0V star spectral energy distribution (SED), or byusing the absolutely calibrated SED of the Sun in comparison withsolar-type stellar photometry (the solar analog method). After therejection of a small number of stars with anomalous SEDs (or badmeasurements), upper limits of ~1.5% root mean square (rms) are placedon the intrinsic infrared (IR) SED variations in both A-dwarf andsolar-type stars. These types of stars are therefore suitable asgeneral-purpose standard stars in the IR. We provide absolutelycalibrated SEDs for a standard zero magnitude A star and for the Sun toallow extending this work to any other IR photometric system. They allowthe recommended calibration to be applied from 1 to 25 μm with anaccuracy of ~2%, and with even higher accuracy at specific wavelengthssuch as 2.2, 10.6, and 24 μm, near which there are directmeasurements. However, we confirm earlier indications that Vega does notbehave as a typical A0V star between the visible and the IR, making itproblematic as the defining star for photometric systems. Theintegration of measurements of the Sun with those of solar-type starsalso provides an accurate estimate of the solar SED from 1 through 30μm, which we show agrees with theoretical models.
