Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A program for setting up a system of secondary spectrophotometry standards in the northern sky is described.The standard stars are situated in three zones: north of +85° (14 stars), a.t +40° (22 stars) and at the celestial equator (43 stars).The stars are of 7-9 magnitudes and their energy distribution curves cover 310-755 nm spectral range.
