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…
We present new calibrations of the near-infrared surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distance method for the F110W (J) and F160W (H) bandpasses of the Wide Field Camera 3 Infrared Channel (WFC3/IR) on the Hubble Space Telescope. The…
Large liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) require stable and well-characterized delivery of ultraviolet (UV) light for in situ calibration of photosensors at cryogenic temperatures. This article reports bench-top and cryogenic…
This paper presents a novel robust online calibration framework for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) anchors in UWB-aided Visual-Inertial Navigation Systems (VINS). Accurate anchor positioning, a process known as calibration, is crucial for integrating…
Using the ground-based V and I photometry of a sample of stars from the Groth Strip, we obtain the first empirical calibration of the F606W and F814W Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 filters for 0.5<V-I<4.5. We present results in the form of…
