Summary
Flux Calibration
is the process of converting the
Raw counts
detected by an
Astronomical instrument
into
Physical units of flux
, allowing for
Accurate comparison
of
Astronomical Observations
. This involves correcting for
Instrument Response
,
Atmospheric Effects
, and other
Systematic Errors
to ensure the data accurately reflect the
Intrinsic brightness
of
Celestial Objects
.
