Objective

To measure the pixel locations (i.e. array orientation, scale,and distortion) as a function of scan mirror angle for the 70 µm narrow field array configuration to an accuracy of 1.1 arcseconds relative to the PCRS.

Description

Use an IER based on the 70 µm Super-Resolution photometry AOT to measure the locations on the sky of several positions on the array as a function of scanning mirror angle.
This task is run in campaigns R and V. The data from each campaign is processed desperately by the MIPS and IPF teams. The IPF team then combines the results from both campaigns. The results from the IPF multi-run are used to update Frame Table 15. The frame table updates for all the campaigns can be found in the following table:
Frame Table Updates.

Data Collected

The observing strategy is exactly the same as the 70 µm Narrow coarse survey, however the set of observations is repeated for a total of 1524 (762*2) observations.

Calibration Star

For the selected calibration star see the IER for this survey. The requirements on the 70 µm coarse focal plane calibration star are as follows:

  • In CVZ
  • Mips requirements: stellar brightness corresponding to S/N of 30 (3 sec integrations) 0.212 Jy, K mag 1.25

    Observing Strategy

    Definitions:

  • W axis direction is defined by the Frame Table, and is always within +/- 90 degrees of the TPF z axis as projected on the sky. Motion along this axis corresponds to motion in the spacecraft motion (left/right).
  • V axis direction is defined by the Frame Table, and is always within +/- 90 degrees of the TPF y axis as projected on the sky. Motion along this axis corresponds to motion in the scan mirror direction (up/down).
  • W offset, the amount of motion in the W direction which results in the spacing between left array, middle array and right array observations
  • V offset, the amount of motion in the V direction which occurs between a set of observations.

    70 µm Coarse FPS observational parameters:

  • W offset = 50 arc seconds
  • V offset = 25 arc seconds
  • W dither = 7.5 arc seconds
  • V dither = 7.5 arc seconds
  • mirror locations for 1 position shown in figure 1.
    1. position 1 = 0
    2. position 2 = -75
    3. position 3 = 25
    4. position 4 = -50
    5. position 5 = 50
    6. position 6 = -25
    7. position 7 = 75
    8. position 8 = position 1 = 0

    Observational Strategy

  • Step 1
    1. PCRS observation
  • Step 2 - (total of 11 observations)
    1. Position the telescope so the data falls on the left side of array
    2. Position star at position 1 in figure 1 (left), turn stim on take an observation
    3. Turn stim off
    4. Take 8 DCES at positions shown in figure 1 (left)
    5. Position star at position 1, turn stim on and take observation
    6. With star still at position 1 turn stim off and take observation
    7. dither in V and W
    8. Repeat above 11 observations.
  • Step 3
    1. Move the space craft according to the W offset (50 arc seconds), image should now be on the center of the array.
    2. Position star at position 1 in figure 1 (middle), turn stim on take an observation
    3. Turn stim off
    4. Take 8 DCES at positions shown in figure 1 (middle)
    5. Position star at position 1, turn stim on and take observation
    6. With star still at position 1 turn stim off and take observation
    7. dither in V and W
    8. Repeat above 11 observations.
  • Step 4
    1. Move the space craft according to the W offset (50 arc seconds), image should now be on the right side of the array.
    2. Position star at position 1 in figure 1 (right), turn stim on take an observation
    3. Turn stim off
    4. Take 8 DCES at positions shown in figure 1 (right)
    5. Position star at position 1, turn stim on and take observation
    6. With star still at position 1 turn stim off and take observation
    7. dither in V and W
    8. Repeat above 11 observations in step.
  • Step 5
    1. PCRS observation
  • Step 6: move telescope according to V offset (25 arc seconds) and repeat steps 1-5
  • Step 7: move telescope according to V offset (25 arc seconds) and repeat steps 1-5
  • Step 8: move telescope according to V offset (25 arc seconds) and repeat steps 1-5
  • Step 8: move telescope according to V offset (25 arc seconds) and repeat steps 1-5
  • Step 9: move telescope according to V offset (25 arc seconds) and repeat steps 1-5
  • Step 10: move telescope according to V offset (25 arc seconds) and repeat steps 1-5
  • Step 11: move telescope according to V offset (25 arc seconds) and repeat steps 1-5
  • Step 12: move telescope according to V offset (25 arc seconds) and repeat steps 1-5
  • Step 13: move telescope according to V offset (25 arc seconds) and repeat steps 1-5
  • Step 14: move telescope according to V offset (25 arc seconds) and repeat steps 1-5
  • Step 15: repeat entire set of observations (steps 1-15)

    Number of observations from step 1-5, 66. Step 1-5 repeated 11 times for a total of (66 * 11) = 726 observations. Repeat a second time for a total of 1452 observations.

    Failure Modes and Responses

    1. Failure of one campaign (R or V) to produce useful data
      • If one of the runs looks bad, then go back and analyze the data better. We may need to plot the data to look for bad data, we may need to edit the CA file and resend it to the IPF team.
      • We might need to ask the IPF team to look closer at their analysis.
      • If one set is bad and can not be fixed, then use data from other campaign, if data appear reasonable and change is not large
    2. Results of R & V inconsistent, neither obviously bad, then average the results.
    3. Both results are bad - then reschedule observations.
