Figaro includes a large number of standard files supplied by Roderick Johnstone, IoA Cambridge. This section reproduces the document he supplied with those files and which dates from December 1987. The files are kept in the standard Figaro directory FIGARO_PROG_S, which on a normal Starlink system corresponds to directory:
/star/etc/figaro
The files were prepared on a VAX/VMS system, where file names were in upper-case only. Consequently they are listed in upper-case in the note, but following the normal convention the corresponding Unix file names are lower-case. SPICA was a spectroscopic data reduction system, now long-defunct, which was in some ways a precursor of Figaro.
The files listed contain stellar fluxes in milli-Jansky. AB magnitude files have the same name, but with an A before the `.' as in standard Figaro style. I have tried to conform to the systematic naming used by Figaro so files are called after the star with positive and negative signs replaced by P and M respectively. Note that some files have been included more than once under aliases of the star name.
Numerical values of wavelength, flux, bandwidth and order changeover wavelengths have been checked and are believed to be correct. Some errors in the SPICA tables were found. Where existing Figaro files are correct these have not been duplicated.
Note that there are several different magnitude systems which determine the fluxes presented in these tables. These are defined through different calibrations of the primary standard Vega and use different ways of transferring the magnitude system from Vega to the fainter secondary standards. In general the stars listed here are not actual standards but are just good calibrations of non-variable stars. The user is strongly advised to read the paper from which the numbers come (listed at the top of each file) to gain an idea of both the random and the systematic errors in the fluxes as well as the magnitude system from which the fluxes derived.
I am most grateful to Doreen Oliver at RGO who I believe typed in most of the original SPICA files and to Carolin Crawford who gave invaluable help checking the numbers.
