Estimating accurate bolometric fluxes for stars requires reliable photometry to absolutely flux cali- brate the spectra. This is a significant problem for studies of very bright stars, which are generally saturated in modern photometric surveys. Instead we must rely on photometry with less precise calibration. We utilize precisely flux-calibrated spectra to derive improved filter bandpasses and zero points for the most common sources of pho- tometry for bright stars. In total, we test 39… Expand
