Absolute Calibration. III. Improved Absolute Calibration for the Visible through the Mid-infrared

We propose Sirius as an improved zero-point-defining star and calibrate its spectrum to an accuracy of ∼0.6% in both the visible and infrared. This result is based on a newly derived independent calibration in the visible of similar accuracy to the previous standard one, with which it is combined. W...
