Standard stars for the Victoria University of Wellington scanning spectrometer

Abstract

Photometric observations of 20 δ Scuti stars and 8 Standard stars have been obtained with the Victoria University of Wellington Scanning Spectrometer. This instrument employes both wedge and plain interference filters to cover the wavelength region from 340nm. to 720nm. A calibration in terms of absolute flux units has been obtained by comparing the observations with the absolute measures of R.V. Willstrop (1965) between 400nm. and 650nm.
