As a convenience for observers, we have compiled lists of
optical and infrared
flux standards and other standard stars. In many
cases, linked finding charts have been provided. The lists have been
drawn from a variety of sources, the references for which are given below.
Please let us know if you discover errors in the standard star positions or
data (Support Astronomers, sa@ucolick.org).
N.B. Finding charts are only available from the mountain server, not from the UCSC mirror site. | ||
