7 Calibration and Science Targets Very few sources observed in Spectral Scan have counterpart. HCalSG29 E.Puga /SPIRE match study TBD but conclusion expected to be similar 7

8 Cross-calibration Work: 1) Comparison of isolated lines in all three instruments and work on the integrated flux (W m-2) domain. P.Imhof and Michael Olberg (FTS and SDAG report) vs SPIRE integrated line fluxes in AGBs 8

10 Cross-calibration Work: 2) Take full range spectroscopy in all three instruments, considering all possible Spectral scans for. Example: IRC SPIRE 750 µm 150 µm +SPIRE by I. 400 µm µm

12 Warnings Common Monitoring sources: -: No common line outside leak region. Coordination on source coordinates is very important. ICC lists? Line variation in some AGBs will make multiepoch comparisons very cumbersome. 12

13 Cross-calibration in Sync Set up a TWIKI page Compile existing efforts both from ICCs and users Publish results on Spectroscopy Cross Calibration 13

14 Conclusions Common Monitoring Sources (CMS): observations of AFL 4106 for completion CMS: revisiting? CO µm preliminary comparison shows fair agreement with SPIRE. Expansion of spectral range to include the CO µm and/or [CII] 158 µm on CMS Strong suggestion for and SPIRE observations of already observed sources in Spectral Scan (e.g. IK Tau) 14
