Description:
    Infrared spectra with increased spectral resolution and accuracy of
    the absolute infrared spectral flux have been created for a subset of
    stellar standards created by Cohen and his collaborators in previous
    papers in this series. Moderate-resolution
    (λ/Δλ∼400) spectroscopy obtained on infrared
    standard stars by the Short Wavelength Spectrometer on the Infrared
    Space Observatory was combined with high-quality photometry tied to
    our recent absolute calibration from the Midcourse Space Experiment.
    Thus, 1-35 micron spectra were created for 33 stars, 9 of which are
    Cohen et al. secondary standards and another 20 of which are tertiary
    standards for which Cohen adopted spectral templates.
    The wavelength spacing is given by (0.0001/1 micron)*lambda^2, which
    provides for 10,000 samples over the 1-35 micron spectral range
