Title: | The Flux Calibration of Gaia | Authors: | PANCINO, ELENA | Issue Date: | 2016 | Volume: | Calibration and standardization of missions and large surveys in astronomy and astrophysics | Editors: | Deustua, S.; Allam, S.; Tucker, D.; Smith, J. A. | Series: | ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF THE PACIFIC CONFERENCE SERIES | Number: | 503 | First Page: | 243 | Abstract: | The Gaia mission is described, along with its scientific potential and its updated science perfomances. Although it is often described as a self-calibrated mission, Gaia still needs to tie part of its measurements to external scales (or to convert them in physical units). A detailed decription of the Gaia spectro-photometric standard stars survey is provided, along with a short description of the Gaia calibration model. The model requires a grid of approximately 200 stars, calibrated to a few percent with respect to Vega, and covering different spectral types. | Conference Name: | Calibration and standardization of missions and large surveys in astronomy and astrophysics | Conference Place: | Batavia, Illinois (USA) | Conference Date: | 16-19 April, 2012 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24739 | URL: | http://aspbooks.org/custom/publications/paper/503-0243.html | ISSN: | 1050-3390 | ISBN: | 978-1-58381-890-9 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016ASPC..503..243P | Fulltext: | open |
