| CAID: MIPS-295 | Title: Scan Map of a large galaxy | |
| System: MIPS | Principal: cengelbracht | Deputy: kgordon, wlatter |
| Objective: | This IOC task is intended to verify the scientific validity of the MIPS Scan pipeline products and test a long AOR. This task contains many overlapping scan legs and will provide an early test of the performance of our calibration procedures on a large, extended object. |
| Description: | Acqiure a normal scan map of IC 342. Use a single map with 15 30' scan legs overlapped by 148", at the medium scan rate. |
| Day: 86.4562500000029 | Suggested Order: W800 | ||
| Must be preceded by these activities (list by CAID): MIPS-327 | |||
| Place in Schedule: This test should be done near the end of IOC as it is a very high level validation of the instrument. Plus, the target is only visible towards the end of IOC. | |||
| Priority: Desired | |||
Conditions | |||
| Maximum telescope temperature: | 5.5 K | ||
| Minimum telescope temperature: | 5.5 K | ||
| Should activity be repeated if focus changes? | No Repeat if focus changes by 0 mm | ||
| Maximum absolute pointing uncertainty: | 3 arcsec (1 sigma radial) | ||
| Maximum precision offset uncertainty: | 0.4 arcsec (1 sigma radial) | ||
| Observatory configuration: | Standard | ||
| Go/No Go criteria: | Array temperatures must be stable, detectors must be functioning nominally | ||
Duration: 144 minutes
| | Real time downlink:
No | | |||
| Data Volume (uncompressed): 2112 Mbits | |||
| List Blocks, AORs, SERs, IERs, or unique sequences required (uplink): Scan Map AOT | |||
| List Analysis tools required (downlink): Standard MIPS data reduction pipeline and mosaicing tools. | |||
| Estimate of data turn around: 168 hours | |||
| Description: Run data through pipeline. Mosaic all the images into three (24, 70, & 160 micron) large 0.25 degree square maps. | |||
| Can proceed in parallel with other activity: No | |||
| Must outcome be confirmed before next activity: No | |||
| Method of Confirmation: Data analysis | |||
| Success criteria: Nice maps without many detector artifacts at the individual image boundarys. | |||
| Contingency plan: Revisit pipeline and/or AOT design depending on the nature of failure. | |||
