Photometric instruments operating at far infrared to millimetre wavelengths often have broad spectral passbands (central wavelength/bandwidth ~ 3 or less), especially those operating in space. A broad passband can result in significant…

The absolute flux calibration of the Mid-Infrared Instrument Imaging and Coronagraphy is based on observations of multiple stars taken during the first 2.5 years of JWST operations. The observations were designed to ensure that the flux…

The high-resolution near-infrared spectrograph CRIRES+ at ESO VLT covers the Y, J, H, K, L and M bands. The U-Ne and Fabry-Perot calibration light sources, however, only work up to the K-band, leaving the bands L and M without wavelength…
