The search for extrasolar planets places a very high demand on the
precision of calibration sources. At NIST, we have characterized
several new (and old) calibration systems for astrophysical
spectrometers. These include hollow cathode emission lamps, molecular
gas absorption cells, and a fiber-based Fabry-Prot interferometer. I
will discuss these sources and their potential application to current
and future astrophysical spectrometers.
