 **Description**
-•       Flux calibration to allow contrast estimation between the central star and a close companion, by measuring the star flux out of the coronagraph 
+- Throughput calibration to obtain absolute flux calibration of science targets.
+
 **Prerequisites**
-•       Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side.
-•       Atmospheric conditions: AO working conditions.
-•       Bad pixel map, Background or Dark, Flat-field, distortion map

 **Procedure**
-•       On target, the same set-up as an observation on science target; AO closed-loop, ND for bright targets to prevent detector saturation, the star behind coronagraph centered and off-centered keeping the stop. The derotator mode should be tracking the field with possible adjustment of the angle to prevent the star from rotating around the coronagraph. 
-•       Observe a star with the coronagraphic devices after an offset of 0.5” is applied. 
+- Observe a spectro-photometric standard star of known magnitude with no coronagraph and required filters.

+
 **Success criteria**
-•       Flux of the star measured within the accuracy of 0.1 mag 
+- Flux measurement better than 10% 
+
 **Notes**
-•       Same as activity 7.2 in AD4
+- Same as activity 7.3 in AD4
