| Title: | MIPS AOT Cluster Option Validation | |||||||
| Objective: | Verify that the cluster option is implemented correctly for all MIPS AOTs. | |||||||
| Description: | Take a series of observations of sources defined in the cluster option for the | |||||||
| MIPS Photometry/SuperRes and SED AOTs. | ||||||||
| Phot/SR and SED AOTs of minimum length at several cluster option positions and all cluster options | ||||||||
| Phot/SR: 24 um FOV only, 3 second exposures, small field, 1 cycle per cluster position | ||||||||
| SED: 3 second exposures, minimum chop, 1 cycle per cluster position | ||||||||
| Place in Schedule: | After aperture door open | |||||||
| After CTA/instrument cool down to a level where bright stars can be seen: | ||||||||
| For 24um, bakground must be less than 4.0e-10 W/cm^2/sr (< 37 K). | ||||||||
| For 70um, background must be less than 1.2e-10 W/m^2/sr (< 16 K). | ||||||||
| For 160um, bakcgound must be less than 5.3e-11 W/m^2/sr (< < 8.5 K). | ||||||||
| Data acquizition in the 24 um band only is sufficient for this test. | ||||||||
| Basic instrument commanding and functionality must have been confirmed. | ||||||||
| After initial Phot/SR and SED AOT basic testing is complete. | ||||||||
| Required Conditions: | CTA and instrument at nominal operational temperature. | |||||||
| PCS performance: 10 arcsec pointing and nominal offsetting | ||||||||
| Resources: | ||||||||
| duration (best estimate) | 0.75 hrs | |||||||
| real time downlink (Y / N) | No | |||||||
| special post event actions (Y / N) | No | |||||||
| Outcome: | ||||||||
| description | Several positions in the Phot/SR and SED AOTs will be executed. | |||||||
| Standard data products will result. | ||||||||
| can proceed in parallel with other activity | No, dedicated observing. | |||||||
| must outcome be confirmed before next event / test /activity | No | |||||||
| method of confirmation (sensor TLM, data analysis, etc.) | Data analysis | |||||||
| estimate of data turn around if required for confirmation | 48 hrs | |||||||
| Unique or included in planned uplink or downlink/analysis tool | Standard pipeline and data analysis tools. | |||||||
| MIPS Phot/SR ans SED skeleton AOT required | ||||||||
| Contingency Plan: | Revisit cluster option design. | |||||||
| "What if..." | ||||||||
| IOC Critical | Yes | |||||||
