Contribution
It introduces a standardized data model for photometry data within the IVOA framework, emphasizing optical photometry specifications.
Findings
Defines a comprehensive data model for photometry data
Facilitates conversion of measurements to physical flux units
Enhances interoperability of photometry data across systems
Abstract
The Photometry Data Model (PhotDM) standard describes photometry filters, photometric systems, magnitude systems, zero points and its interrelation with the other IVOA data models through a simple data model. Particular attention is given necessarily to optical photometry where specifications of magnitude systems and photometric zero points are required to convert photometric measurements into physical flux density units.
