Absolute flux calibration for the Mg II observations near 2800 Ångstroms.
Abstract
Observations of the Mg II features near 2800 A, obtained with a balloon-borne ultraviolet stellar spectrometer for five stars, have been calibrated against the absolute flux measures from OAO-2 spectrometer results. Equivalent widths of the Mg II resonance doublet and their respective subordinate lines, as well as the emission intensities, were evaluated where applicable.
