Task Outcome Summary

Abstract

This tasks aims at studying the saturation at 70 and 160, in medium scan and 3 and 10s photometry.
1) In 3s photometry: no saturation at 70; saturation observed at 160 in 5/6 sources.
2) In medium scans (4s): no saturation at 70; saturation observed at 160, in differnt reads in forward/return legs.
3) In 10s photometry: no saturation at 70; saturation observed at 160 in all 6 sources.
Strong saturation generates a decay, lasting about 40 seconds in the worst case at 160.
Saturation level is larger than 10.3 Jy in 3s at 70 microns (lower limit), which is at least 3 times
larger than UofA predictions (4.4 Jy), and at least 8 times larger than SSC predictions (1.3 Jy).

Photometry 3s
Data are nominal, and FIR Ge:Ga mosaics of IRAS sources are beautiful.
At 160, pixel (2,2) was used.

Scan Maps 4s
Images of Scan Maps here (pretty pictures).
Because of a non redesign of the observations, the bright sources fall in the middle of the
70 micron array in the scan maps. We can nevertheless study the saturation, but is less confortable
than if the side A had seen the whole source. In this respect, the data collection at 70 is not perfect,
but useable.
At 160, pixel (9,2) was used.

Photometry 10s
Data are nominal, and FIR Ge:Ga mosaics of IRAS sources are beautiful.
At 160, pixel (2,2) was used.

Table 2. Read Number when Saturation occured.
When saturation occurs on read #3, no slope is derived. After, a slope can be measured.
(*) For 3s and 10s DCE, pixel (2,2) was used. For 4s, pixel (2,9) was used.
(*) when 2 values are indicated, they correspond to forward leg / return leg

70 microns
No saturation is observed. Even in the stim DCEs. The saturation level is thus way above the predictions.

160 microns
Saturation is observed as expected. A decay is observed in scan map mode (easier to see), and lasts for about 40 seconds. The following plot shows source 2 in scan map mode. We can extrapolate its flux at 160 of about ~15 to ~20 Jy. Since the contribution of the decay after ~10 seconds corresponds to 60% (here 0.55 vs 0.3) of the background, and that this background is of 3.8 MJy/sr (spot 8.9) it mimics a source of 0.6*3.8e6*4.45e8 (3.8 MJy/sr converts into a flux of 3.8e6 / (solid angle of 160 PSF) (4.45e-8 sr see Dole et al 2003) Jy) 100 mJy. On the other hand, a source with 0.25 times the stim brightness is likely to be brighter than 100 mJy. So there is an apparent discrepancy in estimating this "fake flux". If we assume that the source has 20 Jy, and corresponds to >5 stims, then the fake source corresponds to ~ 1 Jy source. SO somwhere between 0.1 and 1 Jy for a 20 Jy source.

decay"
Decay after Saturation: plus: after the saturating source; star: before the source (effect of PSF). Source 2 might have a 160 flux of ~15 to 20 Jy.

Conclusions

70 microns
No saturation is observed, up to a 10.3 Jy source.
No transient effect is observed at all after observing these bright sources.
Saturation level is larger than 10.3 Jy in 3s at 70 microns (lower limit), which is at least 3 times
larger than UofA predictions (4.4 Jy), and at least 8 times larger than SSC predictions (1.3 Jy).

160 microns
Saturation is observed in most of the sources, from reads 4 to 20 depending on the source flux.
In scan maps, the saturation occurs earlier in the DCE in the return leg, likely because of responsivity increase.
Strong saturation generates a decay, lasting about 40 seconds in the worst case.
