Table 5: Estimated uncertainties of the different instrumental artifacts present in band 3 for the 10 AOT 01 speed 4 spectra of our sample of standard stars.
Uncertainty source 3A 3C 3D
bad detector data points, scan jumps & glitches $\sim$2% $\sim$2.5% $\sim$4%
fringe residuals      
$\ \ \ \ $before correction with resp_inter & fringes $\sim$8% $\sim$4% $\sim$3%
$\ \ \ \ $after correction with resp_inter & fringes $\sim$2% $\sim$2% $\sim$2%
baseline ripples $\sim$2% $\sim$2% $\sim$1%
leakage at 27.5 $\mu $m a     $\sim$30%
RSRF artifact at 12.3 $\mu $m $\sim$4%    
Photometric calibration (scaling factors) b $\sim$6.5% ($\sim$9.5%) $\sim$5.5% ($\sim$9.5%) $\sim$9% ($\sim$12%)
Notes:
a Calculated as $F_{27.5~\mu\mbox{\scriptsize
m}}/$ $G_{27.5~\mu\mbox{\scriptsize m}}$ with F the flux of the SWS spectrum, G the flux of the synthetic spectrum.
b The estimated errors originate from our scaling factors. Between brackets: the mean of the scaling factors,
with inclusion of higher scanner speed observations of the sample of standard stars.
