The Mauna Kea Observatories Near-Infrared Filter Set. III. Isophotal Wavelengths and Absolute Calibration
Abstract
The isophotal wavelengths, flux densities, and AB magnitudes for Vega (α Lyr) are presented for the Mauna Kea Observatories near-infrared filter set. We show that the near-infrared absolute calibrations for Vega as determined by Cohen et al. and Mégessier are consistent within the uncertainties, so that either absolute calibration can be used.
