A Proposed Astronomical Reference Catalog of Infrared Sources

Abstract

Data requirements are derived for stellar infrared spectra to be used for calibration reference in a generalized, defense-related program. A program to create such a data set is outlined. The data set would be usable by a variety of users and would both simplify the calibration process and facilitate program- to-program comparisons.
