| 1 | == P3.17 Atmospheric calibration and absolute flux calibration == |
| 2 | • **Phase** : 3 |
| 3 | • **Status** : Draft |
| 4 | • **Category** : Nighttime testing (functionality and operability) (C4) |
| 5 | • **Recurrence** : once at commissioning and then for each LSS observation observations. |
| 6 | • **Duration** : 20 minutes |
| 7 | **Description** |
| 8 | • Atmospheric calibration to remove telluric atmospheric features from the stellar spectrum and get absolute flux calibration per spectral resolution element. |
| 9 | **Prerequisites** |
| 10 | • Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side. |
| 11 | • Atmospheric conditions: AO working conditions. |
| 12 | • Bad pixel map, Background or Dark, Flat-field, wavelength calibration. |
| 13 | **Procedure** |
| 14 | • Observe the spectrum of a featureless (and/or standard) star at similar airmass that of the science target. |
| 15 | **Success criteria** |
| 16 | • Better than 10% for absolute flux calibration and for average residuals from telluric removal. |
| 17 | **Notes** |
| 18 | • Same as activity 7.4 in AD4 |
| 19 | **LBTO support** |
| 20 | • Support from LBTI/LBTO? |
| 21 | **Associated SHARK-NIR personnel** |
| 22 | • JF, LM, MdP |
| 23 | **Date performed and by whom** |
