sbpy's photometric calibration is based on spectra of the Sun and Vega. For example, they are used to convert between :ref:`reflectance, cross-section, and magnitude <reflectance-equivalencies>`, between :ref:`Afρ and spectral flux density <afrho-to-from-flux-density>`, and between :ref:`Vega-based and other magnitude systems <vega-magnitudes>`. sbpy has built-in spectra for each, and users may provide their own.

The spectrum of `Bohlin (2014) <https://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0004-6256/147/6/127>`_ is the default and only built-in spectrum for Vega. It is distributed with sbpy. Four solar spectra are built-in:
