An updated model for the synchrotron and inverse Compton emission from a population of high energy electrons of the Crab Nebula is used to reproduce the measured spectral energy distribution from radio to high energy gamma-rays. By comparing the predicted inverse Compton component with recent Fermi measurements of the nebula's emission, it is possible to determine the average magnetic field in the nebula and to derive the underlying electron energy distribution. The model calculation can then be used to cross calibrate the Fermi observations with ground based air shower measurements. The resulting energy calibration factors are derived and can be used for combining broad energy measurements taken with Fermi in conjunction with ground based measurements.

Using Muon Rings for the Calibration of the Cherenkov Telescope Array: An Analytical Solution for the Dual-Mirror Telescope Using Vector Geometry
A first analytical solution for dual-mirror Cherenkov-telescope muon-ring calibration is derived, including secondary-mirror shadowing and mirror-curvature corrections.
