| 2 | |
| 3 | - **Phase** : 3 |
| 4 | - **Status** : Draft |
| 5 | - **Category** : Nighttime testing (functionality and operability) (C5) + Nighttime calibration (C6) |
| 6 | - **Recurrence** : once at commissioning and then for each LSS observation. |
| 7 | - **Duration** : 2 hours |
| 8 | |
| 9 | **Description** |
| 10 | - Absolute flux calibration per spectral resolution element. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | **Prerequisites** |
| 13 | - Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side. |
| 14 | - Atmospheric conditions: AO working conditions. |
| 15 | - Bad pixel map, Background or Dark, Flat-field, wavelength calibration. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | **Procedure** |
| 18 | - Preset to the targeted star. |
| 19 | - Eventually, center the star behind the slit occulter. |
| 20 | - Apply an offset using the internal DM to move the star outside the occulting mask (but still into the slit). |
| 21 | - Take the spectrum of the star. |

| 26 | **Success criteria** |
| 27 | - Better than 10% for absolute flux calibration. |
