Photometric calibration methods for wide-field photometric surveys [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2206.01007


Uniform and accurate photometric calibration plays an important role in the current and next-generation wide-field imaging surveys. Herein, we review the modern photometric calibration methods, including the classic standard star method, “hardware/observation-driven” methods (such as the Ubercalibration, Hypercalibration, and Forward Global Calibration Methods), and “software/physics-driven” methods (e.g., the Stellar Locus Regression, Stellar Locus, and Stellar Color Regression Methods). Further, we discuss their advantages, limitations, and future developments toward millimagnitude precision calibration.
