| CAID: MIPS-275 | Title: Photometry of a Circumstellar Disk | |
| System: MIPS | Principal: jstansberry | Deputy: krs |
| Objective: | Initial validation of Phot/SR AOT. Verify scientific validity of MIPS Photometry pipeline products. Cross-calibration with SED observations. Possible ECO. |
| Description: | Acquire normal photometry AOT observations at 24, 70, and 160um of an available, bright, circumstellar disk with < 2' spatial extent. Tailor integration time in each band to insure good S/N in single DCEs (eg. > 5). Use at least 3 cycles in each band regardless of whether that is needed to get the desired S/N in order to verify correct behavior of the observatory and pipeline for multiple cycles. This can serve as an ECO. |
| Day: 61.8006944444496 | Suggested Order: O800 | ||
| Must be preceded by these activities (list by CAID): MIPS-320, MIPS-322, MIPS-324 | |||
| Place in Schedule: After aperture door open MIPS CE and arrays operating normally. After commanding validation of the photometry AOT. | |||

No | | |||
| Data Volume (uncompressed): 336 Mbits | |||
| List Blocks, AORs, SERs, IERs, or unique sequences required (uplink): AOR | |||
| List Analysis tools required (downlink): standard pipeline output. False-color composite desireable for ERO. | |||

the SED activity, which is really a companion to this one, and should follow this one. | |||
