Abstract:
There is a need for reliable 10 micrometer standards with which to reference the background measurements being done by various Air Force user groups. A literature search was conducted to compile a list of non-planetary celestial sources which have fluxes greater than 5 times 10 to the -17th power W per micrometer cm. squared at 10 micrometers. Standard stars are chosen from the list and recommended flux values are assigned to them. Author
