Element-by-element we have combined the optical components in the three 2MASS cameras, and incorporated detector quantum efficiency curves and site-specific atmospheric transmissions, to create three relative spectral response curves (RSRs). We provide the absolute 2MASS attributes associated with " zero magnitude " in the JHK s bands so that these RSRs may be used for synthetic photometry. The...

The status of the SPI energy calibration after the first year of INTEGRAL operations is reported. We have studied the gain variations and we have demonstrated that the most important parameter is the ger-manium detector temperature. This study permits us to determine the limits of our calibration method and the frequency of calibrations needed.

For the astronomical community analyzing ISO-SWS data, a first point to assess when judging and qualifying the observational data concerns the flux calibration accuracy. Since the calibration process is not straightforward and since a wrong calibration may lead to an over-or underestimation of the results, knowledge on the full calibration process and on the still remaining calibration problems...

In this paper, we use the result in [7] to calculate the non-Gaussianity of the racetrack models in [3, 5]. Our results show that the nonGaussianity in [3] is reasonable, while the non-Gaussianity in [5] is beyond the observational limits.
