Abstract:
We determine an absolute calibration for the Multiband Imaging
Photometer for Spitzer 24um band and recommend adjustments to the
published calibrations for Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), Infrared
Array Camera (IRAC), and IRAS photometry to put them on the same
scale. We show that consistent results are obtained by basing the
calibration on either an average A0V star spectral energy distribution
(SED), or by using the absolutely calibrated SED of the Sun in
comparison with solar-type stellar photometry (the solar analog
method).
