With the successful launch of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) in November 1995 it has been necessary to establish a set of celestial standards for the photmetric calibration of the instruments. In support of the imaging photopolarimeter ISOPHOT a sample of 10 asteroids, which cover the flux range between 5 Jy (bright standard stars) and 1000 Jy (Uranus and Neptune) at wavelengths between 50 and 200 μm, has been investigated. Targeted groundbased mid infrared and submillimeter observations, as well as spaceborne IRAS and ISO measurements have been used to test the reliability and accuracy of several thermal flux models.
