Vega, Sirius, β Leo, α Car and α Cen A
belong to a sample of twenty stellar sources used for the
calibration of the detectors of the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer on
board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO-SWS). While general
problems with the calibration and with the theoretical modelling of
these stars are reported in Decin et al. ([CITE]), each of these stars
is discussed individually in this paper. As demonstrated in
Decin et al. ([CITE]), it is not possible to deduce the effective
temperature, the gravity and the chemical composition from the ISO-SWS
spectra of these stars. But since ISO-SWS is absolutely calibrated,
the angular diameter () of these stellar sources can be deduced from
their ISO-SWS spectra, which consequently yields the stellar radius (R),
the gravity-inferred mass (Mg) and the luminosity (L) for these
stars. For Vega, we obtained

for β Leo
mas,

for α Car
mas,

and
and for α Cen A
mas,

and
.
These deduced parameters are confronted with other published values and the
goodness-of-fit between observed ISO-SWS data and the
corresponding synthetic spectrum is discussed.
