Scientific paper

The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) will survey the entire sky at 3/4/12/23 micron bands down to depths of 0.1/0.2/0.7/3 mJy (5 sigma). The WISE science team requests Spitzer DDT to measure the 15-35 micron spectrum of the WISE flux calibrator NGC 6552. The purpose is to spectrally match the WISE 23 micron measurement with the MIPS 24 micron measurement that has already been acquired in a previous set of observations. With IRS LL observations providing the necessary mid-infrared spectral information of NGC 6552, it will then be possible to construct an absolute flux calibration scale for the longest wavelength measurements of WISE.
