The Four MIPS Astronomical Observing Templates
Photometry & Super Resolution Imaging
- Photometry/Super Resolution and Scan AOTs have been selected to be available for Cycle 1 observing.
- will undergo full up operational IOC testing, validation, optimization, and characterization during IOC.
- The other two AOTs will be available for Cycle 2.
- skeleton versions must be IOC tested and validated.
- IOC AOT testing requires validation of all modes of operation and operating parameters over a broad range. There are approximately 80 to 100 parameter selections or specifications available to the observer.
- Data processing pipeline validation --
- full operational testing for 2 AOTs
- skeleton testing for remaining two AOTs
- Freeze-frame Scan-mapping
- Spectro-Photometry or Spectral Energy Distribution (SED)
