Characterization and Absolute Calibration of the Far-infrared Field Integral Line Spectrometer for SOFIA

We present the characterization and definitive flux calibration of the Far-infrared Field Integral Line Spectrometer (FIFI-LS) instrument on board SOFIA. The work is based on measurements made in the laboratory with an internal calibrator and on observations of planets, moons, and asteroids as absol...
