SPHEREx

[andrew-saydjari]

I think it might require a lot of thought on how to integrate LVF filters from missions like SPHEREx (up and downlinking data) and PRIMA (phase A). Happy to think about this, but having SPHEREx filter curves early in the mission would be great.

I guess the answer is that we might just use whatever SVO uses, and kick the can upstream. But my concern here is that I think most people are going to handle this wrong.

I briefly read over https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.11017 and the only mention of photometry was in the Level-3 All-Sky Spectral Catalog section, where they write

For each source, we obtain from all the images in which that source appears a spectrum with a forced
optimally-weighted photometry algorithm that uses the PSF to estimate the source flux in each observation. This
produces a catalog of fully-sampled spectra which serves as the basis of the Cosmic Inflation and Interstellar Ices
science analysis.

Generally the document is always referring to spectra of objects rather than filter-integrated photometry which is the domain of this package, so it's unclear to me what we can/should do to support it. What applications were you thinking of?
