Miscellaneous Near-Infrared Data

 

Typical atmospheric extinction corrections for SSO are listed in Table 13, and values for the standard interstellar extinction law from Rieke & Lebofsky (1985, ApJ, 288, 618) are listed for reference in Table 14. Adopted values for the near-infrared broadband zero magnitude flux calibration are listed in Table 15. These are obtained from a 11200 K blackbody normalized to tex2html_wrap_inline7398 Å tex2html_wrap_inline7400 W cm tex2html_wrap_inline6925 tex2html_wrap_inline6254 m tex2html_wrap_inline7406 (Bersanelli, Bouchet, & Falomo 1991, A&A, 252, 854) giving

where tex2html_wrap_inline6927 is flux density in Jy and tex2html_wrap_inline7410 is wavelength in tex2html_wrap_inline6254 m.
