Title: |
|
MIPS Scan to Determine Confusion Limits |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Objective: |
|
Deep observations at 70 and 160 microns to estimate the MIPS confusion |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
limits at three galactic latitudes (low background, high, and intermediate). |

|
Description: |
|
Acquire normal scan observations at 70 and 160 microns of three 5 arcmin X 0.5 degree fields |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
at, or near the galactic pole, the equator, and an intermediate position. |

Can be the same as: |
|
Verify pipeline -- Scan |

|
|
|
|
|
|
Three identical AORs executed at three different pointings: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Slow scan rate, 0.5 degree leg length (full coverage), 4 up and back scan legs with minimum offset step |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Place in Schedule: |
|
After CTA/instrument cool down and all other instrument testing is complete. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For 160 um performance, the backgrd radiance must be less than 5.2E-13 W/cm2/sr (< 6 K). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can be concurrent with other AOT/instrument tests. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required Conditions: |
|
CTA and instrument at nominal operating temperature for the 160 um band (< 6 K). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PCS performance needs to be nominal in pointing, offsetting, and scan stability. |

Contingency Plan: |

|
|
|
|
"What if..." |
|
|
|
|
Revisit pipeline and/or AOT design depending on the nature of a failure. |
