HST and new Oke spectrophotometric standard star flux tables

In 1991 Jeremy Walsh provided two new sets of spectrophotometric flux tables for use with Figaro. One comprised a set of stars observed by Oke, the other a set of HST standard stars. Copies of these data can be retrieved by anonymous ftp. The details are as follows.

ftp site: ftp.roe.ac.uk
directory: /pub/acd/fluxstandards
files: 0README.LIS
  hst.tar.Z
  oke.tar.Z

The data files are compressed tar archives. Remember to use ftp in binary mode when retrieving them. Once you have retrieved copies of the files they can be decompressed using Unix command uncompress, for example:

uncompress oke.tar.Z

Then extract the individual files from the tar archive:

tar xvf oke.tar

Brief details of the two datasets follow. For details of the processing of these files please refer to Jeremy Walsh at the ST-ECF.
