Description:
We describe the infrared (IR) photometric system for the single
channel photometers at ESO, which have been used from 1983 until 1994.
In addition to the broadband near infrared (NIR, 1-5µm) photometric
system presented in 1991 by Bouchet et al. and Bersanelli et al., we
describe a narrow-band NIR photometric system and a mid infrared (MIR,
7-20µm) photometric system. We also extend the set of NIR standard
stars by Bouchet et al. towards fainter objects (K=~9). The
photometric data of the standard stars in these systems were extracted
from the complete IR photometric data archive of ESO, covering 10
years. The zeropoints of the NIR photometry are set by assuming that
HR 3314 has a V-magnitude of 3.89, and that V-K=-0.05, J-K=-0.01,
H-K=-0.01, K-L'=0.00, K-M=0.00. The zeropoints of the MIR photometry
are set by assuming that the colours of{beta} Hyi (HR 0098) and
{alpha} CenA (HR 5459) are equal to the colours of the Sun. We adopt
the absolute calibration of Megessier (1995A&A...296..771M) for the
NIR and we argue that this calibration can be extrapolated to 20µm,
using the MIR calibrations by Rieke et al. (1985AJ.....90..900R) and
Cohen et al. (1992AJ....104.1650C). The definition of the zeropoints
is consistent with the absolute calibration. We obtained accurate
({sigma}=~0.02mag.) NIR photometry of about 240 standard stars and MIR
photometry of about 40 standard stars ({sigma}=~0.04mag). Comparison
of our NIR photometric system with other well established systems
shows that there are some small colour dependencies and zeropoint
offsets which are always smaller than about 0.02mag. except for the L'
band.
